Hi all, I am very curious about the prefix number of the configuration filename, such as 10-auth.conf .... What are those meanings of 10,15,20 and 90 ?
The configuration files are read and processed according to the sorting order of their names. Adding the numeric prefixes allows the order in which the files are processed to be determined independently of their names.
So, in this case, the config files with names starting with 10 are read first (i.e., 10-director.conf is processed first). If the number prefixes weren't there, then the "acl.conf" file would be processed first (instead of near the end).
It matters what order the configuration files are processed in because later files can override parameters set by earlier files.
