Hi Soji,

The value there is '/usr/local/etc'

I configured Sympa with the following parameters './configure --enable-
fhs --prefix=/usr/local --with-confdir=/etc/sympa --without-initdir --
with-unitsdir=/lib/systemd/system'.

And settings in '/etc/sympa/sympa.conf' seem to be honored.

Does this mean I should put my auth.conf in '/usr/local/etc'?

My Sympa installation will be serving one domain only. That's why I
thought that 'auth.conf' in SYSCONFDIR should be fine.
