NOTES ABOUT SERVUADM's OPERATION:





  if you don't specify a parameter, the default option in Serv-U will be used.


    (ie: for -e, -x, -r, -n, -o, etc)





  if you dont specify the -i option, it defaults to the current directory for 


  the "SERV-U.INI" file.





  If you use the -a methods, declare them in the order in which you want to have


  them listed for restrictions.  When writing them to servu's configuration file,


  it always starts at 1.  In other words, if you already have some defined, they


  will be overwritten...
