	They should absolutely match the init script.  I could perhaps
seen an exception for something everything includes, but then I would
have the other sysconfig files include it.  What do I mean?  Say you
have a sysconfig/cluster file you want everything to see (cman,
fs_controld, etc).  You would have sysconfig/cman source
sysconfig/cluster.  That way, someone reading sysconfig/cman would see
it.  I would think we want to avoid folks having to read the init script
to find the config files.
	Btw, let's all remember that 'sysconfig' is spelled 'default' on
debian/ubuntu, so be aware of that in your scripts :-)
