OK thanks

OK cool, thanks I wasn't sure if it was going to create a default cfg file
for me.

Thanks yes please, I did have some from you ages ago but it wouldn't hurt to
see them now, so thanks.

You make a good point about pathing. I may do the same then. If I do move
I guess I need to change the group:owner to me and find a way to add the dir
I move them to the path

So because I compiled the first attempt of all my binaries with the wrong
pathing to my intended config file, those compiled binaries need to be
deleted and recompiled else they will always look to the wrong location for
config info - is that right?
