Configuration of kissdx

The kissdx daemon is configured via a text based configuration file. Each line in the file is a key - value pair of information.

The configuration file is read when kissdx is started. Since version 0.14, this configuration will be reloaded according an option settings.

The location of kissdx configuration file is by default in the appropriate "etc" directory. You might choose another location. See further section for details.

   On Linux ------: /etc/kissdx.conf 
   On FreeBSD --: /usr/local/etc/kissdx.conf 
   Optware ipkg -: /opt/etc/kissdx.conf 

Each installation of kissdx may have a customised configuration and location. To help diagnostics, please use the verbose log mode to track any messages about configuration before submitting a post in the forum.

If more information is needed or would be appreciated on a specific subject, please ask for it in the forum.
