yes, that's what it was (or is, if you're still using NeXT :-)

and yes, the plethora of various OS startup & configuration methods will
make this a messy task, considering that none of them has a setup as
streamlined as NeXT (with all of these values being stored in either a
global or user defaults database, instead of all of these garbage rc/conf
files).  except maybe OS X...
