Comment(by Rudd-O):

 Frigging restructuredtext screwed up my formatting.

 At any rate, there may be a case to be made for checking the user's
 client.conf, but you have not made any case for such a test, and since the
 patch *fulfills* its purpose as it is, I see no reason to add the check.

 When you make a case for checking client.conf (with an obvious use case
 and grounded in technical data), I might add the check.  But "I think..."
 is not a technical case at all.

 --------------------------------

 "Using the default-server config option as an indicator that "system wide"
 is used (as per the comment in the patch) is an invalid assumption."

 That is an assumption *you* are making, not me or the patch.  The patch
 CLEARLY SAYS:

 "# Exit if the system client.conf sets a default server (generally set as
 policy whenever system-wide daemons are run, or terminal services are
 deployed)"

 Do you see the part about "or terminal services are deployed"?  I trust
 you are familiar with boolean logic.
