See attached strace. This is above my head.
This strace'd systemd but did not strace sks itself.
SKS by default loads the configuration file as `./sksconf`, so
whatever
the working directory of the `sks db` and `sks recon` processes is,
that's where the configuration file should be. The configuration file
is best, because otherwise you're looking at some intricate balancing
of
configuration for "recon" and "db" to make sure things work.
You can just run `strace sks help` to not do anything but show the
help
text, but after SKS has loaded its configuration. I use FreeBSD, so
am
using ktrace/kdump, but below is a highlight of what I see in the
output, after searching forward with my text viewer ("less") for the
name of the configuration file, "sksconf". This is how you find what
files a process was trying to access.
What you _probably_ want to do is use:
sks db -basedir /path/to/runtime/directory
and in your runtime directory have symlinks pointing to the real
configuration files somewhere under /etc/.
And hey, I just discovered that my `server_contact` field is
out-of-date, by reading my own trace output. :)
