And might break your local.cf settings consequently as well. I have the 
same setup as you and use the local.cf for both SA and MS. My suggestion 
aimed at preventing problems with such a setup. I agree that renaming the 
old local.cf creates a problem as long as you haven't renamed it back. If 
you want to avoid any problems the only way is to add a file with *no* cf 
suffix to that directory and tell users to compare it with local.cf or 
rename to local.cf if they want to use it.
