Hi Paul, The configuration option should be looked at rather its corresponding superseding environment variable. Module configuration option has default value and can then be superseded by setting a MODULE_* environment variable. Configuration option handling can be controlled with "module config" command. By default it lists all known configuration options: $ module config Modules Release 5.0.1+221-g754913fe (2022-01-10) - Config. name ---------.- Value (set by if default overridden) --------------- advanced_version_spec 1 auto_handling 1 (env-var) avail_indepth 1 ... When using the default value set when Modules is built (through the ./configure script), module config will just report this value: $ module config mcookie_check Modules Release 5.0.1+221-g754913fe (2022-01-10) - Config. name ---------.- Value (set by if default overridden) --------------- mcookie_check always You can also use this command to set a specific value to the config option (it will set the corresponding MODULES_* environment variable): $ module config mcookie_check eval When the default value is superseded, a '(env-var)' mention appear: $ module config mcookie_check Modules Release 5.0.1+221-g754913fe (2022-01-10) - Config. name ---------.- Value (set by if default overridden) --------------- mcookie_check eval (env-var) The initrc file, evaluated when the module command initializes in user's shell session, can host "module config" commands. This is the good location to define your site-specific configuration. See the configuration section of the installation guide: https://modules.readthedocs.io/en/latest/INSTALL.html#configuration I will look at better explaining the default value of configuration option in the documentation.
