Mark,
What you said. That's what I meant, I guess. By default, I think we
should find installed:
/usr/local/lib/libtds.so.0.0 # et. al.
/etc/freetds/freetds.conf
I think /usr/local/<package> is self-important, leads to diddling with
$PATH and ldconfig. I think /etc/<package> is polite and unassuming. Not
to mention findable.
Whatever lands in sysconfdir should be paralleled in $HOME, IMO, too.
That is, the override to <sysconfdir>/freetds/freetds.conf should be
$HOME/.freetds/freetds.conf.

Thank you. I thought I was the only one. (Really!)

Mark, I don't understand that. I have a feeling I should, but I just
don't.
