Debian tries to keep all configuration info under /etc/. I find this
makes life easy. For your reference, if you want to find all the
files associated with a package, do
dpkg -L leafnode
If you want to find the package a particular file is in
dpkg -S filepattern
And for every package there will be docs under, e.g.,
/usr/share/doc/leafnode
In particular README.Debian will talk about Debian tweaks to the
package (for example, the one for leafnode gives the location of the
config file in the first line).
Have fun.
P.S. I've been using leafnode and have noticed it's sometimes quite
slow; that is, the througput of message retrieval is way under even my
modem's abilities. I'm curious if anyone else sees this.
