Request: 'dcache check-config' warning against empty/default dcache.conf #4698

Dear dCache devs,

A few times I spent some effort debugging dCache failures that turned out to be caused by RPM moving aside our dcache.conf to dcache.conf.rpmsave and placing a default dcache.conf with only comments.

In such a case, dcache check-config reports nothing, suggesting that everything is fine. I can't imagine how running dCache without configuration can be fine. Therefore, I'd like dcache check-config to warn that the configuration is empty. It would also be nice, if there is a dcache.conf.rpmsave, that dcache check-config mentions this.

Thanks! Onno
