How is that? I would have thought it would have read the default /etc version again and cached some invalid parameters and hence failed. It's as if it has sourced the temporary local file I used and remembered the variables contained within the next time. If that is true, why didn't it read the default and overwrite the good values back with the old bad values again? Also, how can I view these env vars (they're not regular ones and must be stored somewhere other than what 'set' displays.
