.conf and .defaults

Each configuration consists of two files: .conf and .defaults ones. .defaults contains default values. .defaults are the part of distribution and can be altered by software upgrade. You shall no edit .defaults directly, or your changes can be lost with next update. Edit .conf file instead. .conf contains site-specific settings. Variables in .conf file override default values from .defaults. If no variable set in .conf default value from .defaults will be used.
