No it's not. If I copy sftpcloudfs.conf in /etc instead of in
/etc/sftpcloudfs/sftpcloudfs.conf like I want it, then it does work. So
I'd say that the daemon doesn't understand --config= at all!

I use something else. I use:

auth-url = https://auth.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0
host-key-file = /etc/sftpcloudfs/sftpcloudfs.key

Ah, now you're using --config [ SPACE ] and not --config=. That's not at
all what's in your README.md, or in the -h / --help thing...

Indeed, replacing the = by a space does work. I would strongly suggest
that you correct your doc,

I have made that change in the packaging already.

I have also made a separate python-ftp-cloudfs binary package, and and
sftpcloudfs does depend on that rather than ftp-cloudfs now. This way,
you don't need to run the ftp-cloudfs daemon if you only need SFTP support.

I'll add configuration of auth-url through debconf. However, I'm still
not sure. Is https://auth.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0 still a correct
default in your view? (for me, it makes sense...)

Cheers,
