I was messing around with the .cfg files last week and had a few problems with it.
As the zone server boots with the zone specified that you are zoning into, it says its reading the safe points from the database, if you check the logs. However, this doesnt seem to be so. :P
I tried both with and without the .cfg files, and with helped more than without.
Also tried the #zsave command to set things the way I wanted them, and then #zsave zonename.cfg. This saves it into the root directory from where you run the emu, rather than into the cfg folder, but after copying the file into the cfg folder and rebooting the zone again, it made no difference.
I too am interested in the answers to all of this.
