   <p>
   LON-CAPA currently depends on the following list of configuration
   files.  Note that <tt>loncapa.conf</tt> is automatically
   altered by the installation/upgrade scripts associated with
   the tarball-distribution (see the <b>INSTALL</b> and <b>UPGRADE</b>
   sections of this web-site).  (Thus, the system administrator should
   not have to further adjust <tt>loncapa.conf</tt> from the terminal.)

   <h3>Configuring Secondary Services</h3>
   <p>
   LON-CAPA does not provide integrated support for secondary services.
   The expectation is that knowledgeable system administrators will
   customize these secondary services for their institution.

   <p>
   We do, however, provide example configurations of services that you
   may want to deliver with LON-CAPA (i.e. Samba and AppleChooser).
