Well, let's see -- passwd, group, netmasks, networks, ttys, named.boot,
fstab, dumpdates, defaultdomain, myname, hosts, hostname.*, lpd.hosts,
rc, rc.local...
I suppose this is logical; it was kind of tongue-in-cheek, as I suspect
that, as I said, it would be opening a can of pointers to cans of worms,
( can_of_worms *worms[CANSIZ]; ), but it certainly asks the question
of whether or not it should be done.
I must have just been bored when I thought of that; I have no intention of
actually implementing it unless /etc gets too cluttered (right now it
appears quite clean to my (possibly untrained) eye...).

* /etc is already the config directory. What else do you put in yours ?
