I don't have a gnats-db.conf file.  At least I can't find one
anywhere.  Is the install procedure of gnats supposed to make one?
I made categories (using mkcat).  The gnats commands send-pr and
query-pr appear to work.  Does that imply that I do have a gnats-db.conf
file somewhere?

I see no mention of this file in the README file in the
gnats-3.113.tar.gz file.  Nothing is said about it in the gnats
manual found here: http://sources.redhat.com/gnats/3_113_manual/
Is everyone else following different instructions???  Where are
they?
