It's not a programming language, it's a config file. Standard
comment syntax is '#' (or ';' in the case of bind, which is an
odd-ball).
Given these 2 examples:
/*
foo
bar
baz
*/
or
# foo
# bar
# baz
I personally feel that the latter is more clearly read and
understood. It also makes it much simpler to parse from a
shell or perl or whatever.
