[sles-beta] off: /etc/default vs. /etc/sysconfig

[Czanik, Péter]

Hi,

A slightly offtopic question, but I could not find anything about it in the
documentation. What is the difference between /etc/default and
/etc/sysconfig? Which to use in which situation? On a quick look my theory
is, that both define environment variables, those in /etc/sysconfig are
used by YaST and startscripts, those in /etc/default are the leftovers :-)

In other words, for a 3rd party software, which of these two directories
should be used?

Bye,
