-When templating, /conf/ME is typically a softlink to
-/conf/<appropriate-machine>. When doing a diskless boot, /conf/ME is
-retargeted by /etc/rc.diskless1 from pointing to the server to pointing
-to the client's directory, /conf/<ip-address-of-client>. The retargeting
-is accomplished through an MFS -o union mount.
-
-When templating, this softlink should be different for each machine.
-When doing a diskless boot, this softlink is typically part of the / NFS
-mount from the server and points to the server's conf directory, but gets
-retargeted during the /etc/rc.diskless1 phase.
-
-System-wide configuration files must generally be targeted through /conf/ME.
-For example, your /etc/rc.conf.local should become a softlink to
-/conf/ME/rc.conf.local and your real rc.conf.local should go into the
-appropriate /conf/<appropriate-machine> directory. This is also true of
-/etc/rc.local, /etc/fstab, /etc/syslog.conf, /etc/ccd.conf, /etc/ipfw.conf,
-/etc/motd, /etc/resolv.conf, and possibly even /etc/ttys ( if you want
-to start an X session up on boot on certain of your machines ).
-
-When templating, you duplicate your / and /usr partitions on each machine's
-local disk from a single master ( assuming /var and /home reside elsewhere ),
-EXCEPT for the /conf/ME softlink. The /conf/ME softlink is the only thing
-on / that should be different for each machine.
-
-There are often categories of configuration files. For example, all of your
-shell machines may use one resolv.conf while all of your mail proxies may
-use another. Configuration files can be categorized fairly easily through
-/conf/HT.<category> directories. You put the actual configuration file in
-/conf/HT.<category> and make a softlink from
-/conf/ME/<appropriate-machines>/config-file to "../HT.<category/config-file".
-This means that access to these files tends to run through more then one
-softlink. The advantage is that for all the complexity of your /conf
-directory hierarchy, most of your common config files exist in only one place
-in reality.
