[misterhouse-users] problems with mh.ini

[Kip G. <ki...@st...>]

I am trying to use an mh.ini file that it outside the mh directory (as
mentioned in the installation manual and FAQ) to allow for easier
upgrading. Unfortunately, the values in the default mh.ini file seem to
take precedence to the ones in my custom file. For example, the cm_11 port
is not set in the default mh.ini file but is set in my file. When I run
mh, it doesn't get a cm11 port value.

I have set the mh_parms env variable (in /etc/profile AND .login) to be
the path to my custom mh.inix. It seems that my mh.ini is getting ignored
(or perhaps loaded first).

When I copy my file to mh/bin/mh.ini, everything works as expected.

Any ideas?
