Panther global config files changes


Apple has moved the location of some global preference files, notably the files that stored Locations, Network Configuration, and Power Management settings.

Previously, these were in /private/var/db/ and /private/var/db/SystemConfiguration/
Now they are in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/

This location is more in keeping with Apple's other global preferences, but if you weren't managing those files under 10.1 and 10.2, you'll need to add

d /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration 0755 0 80

to your negative file for Panther to keep from managing them now.
