The custom user configuration is saved in the /etc/config/config.xml file. This file is transparently accessed and edited when
configuring the device using the Management Console browser GUI. Only the root user can configure from the shell.
By default, the config elements are separated by a . character (a full-stop or period). The root of the config tree is called <config>.
To address a specific element, place a . between each node or branch. For example, to access and display the description of user1
type:
# config -g config.users.user1.description
The root node of the config tree is <config>. To display the entire config tree, type:
# config -g config
To display the help text for the config command, type:
# config -h
The config application resides in the /bin directory. The environmental variable called PATH contains a route to the /bin directory.
This allows a user to simply type config at the command prompt instead of the full /bin/config path.
