The copy-procedure was never documented, because it never was the way to do
it; incindentally, it was only happenstance that it did work at all. The
only documented way of using samples has always been to call ct-ng with the
sample name.

There is the documentation (in docs/), the man page (man ct-ng) and the
in-line help (ct-ng help). None of them instructs to copy the sample config,
but all do say to call ct-ng with the sample name.

I know that there are some 'blog-posts' here-and-there that instruct to copy
the sample config, but they are wrong.

Sometimes, I wonder if writing documentation is really that important... ;-)

Yann E. MORIN.
