[Csync2] Getting config from directory other than /etc

[Dan Falconer]

I've tried using the environment variable to change csync2's behavior, 
but with no success.  In my case, csync2 running under xinetd seems to 
not find the configuration file, which is in /etc/csync2/csync2.cfg 
(this is where it was placed from the RPM install from Yum).
