Re: commented lines *not* being ignored in cf files

The comments should work as you expect.  Is there a chance you’re doing a “#include” multiple times in your configs?  Or maybe that console name is occurring in multiple config files?  (perhaps you already hunted for that)

I have test files and seen many instances where comments were working fine.  Hopefully hunting for "c118.sjc002” across your config files or even “fill.sjc002” will illuminate things.
