That's the one. And Doug, if you're nervous about changing a config file make
it a habit to never delete an entry but comment it out. (i.e. put a hashmark
in front of it). So your edited conf file should look:
#OLD LINE
NEW LINE
if you don't like that you always can fall back on
OLD LINE
#NEW LINE
that will restore the old configuration.
