This utility reruns the same configuration scripts that run during installation. It is run from the command line, and options can be used to vary the level of complexity of the questions asked. It is generally used when extensive, local modifications aren't required and the admirristrator just wants to update the basic configuration as provided by the installation scripts. It is also useful if the basic configuration has been corrupted, or changes made that have caused the package to stop working, to return it to the configuration provided immediately after installation.
Itis generally not useful if the configuration requires options that are not commonly used, or if the configuration requires extensive local modifications that aren't normally covered by the installation scripts, except perhaps to return the configuration to a post-installation condition as noted previously.
