</span><div>The choice to default it to "/etc" rather than "${prefix}/etc" is deliberate, for historical compatibility. But the standard --sysconfdir option is honoured if you wish to override it. (Commit c185645, November 2003.)<br></div>

<div>The help text for --sysconfdir is provided by autotools, not by us. "[PREFIX/etc]" is wrong for our case, but I don't know of a way to override it with our own text. Does anyone else?<br></div>
