I am continuing on my quest to install gnats on a redhat 7 system.
I am using the information found here:

http://sources.redhat.com/gnats/3_113_manual/gnats_4.html#SEC55

Section A.3 refers to a `GNATS_ROOT/gnats-adm/config'.  The
problem is that there is none in the version loaded with cvs.
Is it expected that this file is created from scratch?

Section A.4 says: "In the `gnats-adm' directory, you'll want to edit
`gnatsd.conf'."  This file doesn't exist in the cvs version either.
Where do you get it?

This same section also mentions:

By default, the server for the GNATS daemon is assumed to be one with the name of `gnats'. If you'd like something else, use 

  
   --with-gnats-server=hostname

Shouldn't something like this be mentioned in the section where you
are configuring/compiling the software so that you don't have to go
back and re-compile?  It is unlikely that the hostname will happen
to be named "gnats.whatever.com".

Today's fortune: I think animal testing is a terrible idea; they get
all nervous and give the wrong answers.
