Hello Andy,

this is the expected behavior:

- - darrc (wherever it is installed in /etc /usr/etc /usr/local/etc or
where you instruct it to be installed using the --prefix and/or
- --sysconfdir option given to "./configure") is always read unless:
- - a $HOME/.darrc is present and does not contain a -B option pointing
to /etc/darrc /usr/etc/darrc or wherever it has been installed,
- - -N option is provided on command-line or in an included file

Passing -B option to dar does not change this behavor, it just adds
more files to be read for configuration purposes (you can use several
- -B options if you like and recursively also), you can also hopefully
use the user targets defined in the official darrc from your dcf files.

What you probably need is adding -N option in "mydir/mydarrc.dcf":
this way you keep the default darrc unless you give mydarrc.dcf using
a -B option.

See also the DAR_DCF_PATH environment variable.

Regards,
Denis
