I just tested it again, the pyzor_path is actually OK and DCC_path is also
OK if I change it from /usr/local/bin to /usr/bin - the rpm put dccproc in
a different place.

However, I am curious as to why the settings are needed as it actually
worked and linted fine with the lines commented out.

Now that they are plugins, are the path lines still needed?
