Does not beat the “BIND zone files generated by m4 macros from a shell script”, I had the honor having to modify. Comes close second, though.



No raw sendmail.cf? :)


Thanks, that little twitch under my eye just started up.

I worked at an org where an admin went a little rogue and updated the config without using the macro file. Another admin didn't realize. Well, didn't realize until it was too late.


autoconf (configure.ac) files are also m4 hell, with some whitespace surprises.
