Subject: [PATCH] Implement support for config file change detection, which can detect external edits to the server configuration (e.g., manually updating the file in a text editor) with the server online. If the server detects that the configuration file has been externally modified when it needs to rewrite it to apply a change coming in through protocol, then it will attempt to copy the manually-edited file off to the side and will generate an administrative alert and write a log message to let administrators know what happened.
