Hi,

(Please always keep the bug Cc’d.)

--sysconfdir would not change the hard-coded file names, but it would
actually make those hard-coded file names valid.  And again, using /etc
as the sysconfdir would allow people to have a writable artanis.conf
file, for instance, so that’s definitely something we should do.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
