Which is set to ?

tenant.conf was the target of a symlink, created in the systemd unit
file:

/bin/ln -sf /etc/mender/tenant.conf /var/lib/mender/authtentoken

How does it work now ?

So in its current state, the mender package in Buildroot doesn't work ?
I'm trying to figure out if this is a bug, or just a preference. If
it's a bug, we need to fix it in the master branch, and perhaps
backport it to our LTS release.

In your next iteration of the patches, could you please clearly
separate the bug fixes as separate patches. They should come first in
the series, before the improvements/cleanups.

Thanks!

Thomas
