very private, infact that is where i store all my credit card and private
information, when i am dosing away at my keyboard, my switch will notice
that I have not typed in any command for the past few minutes, with the
information in the private-config.text file, it will automatically order
another cup of coffee, the delivery guy is normally the one that wakes me
up. it is so private that you cannot edit, delete, copy, tftp or even read
its contents...:)
just kidding....everything i said about credit card, cup of coffee, delivery
guy are untrue but the rest are true, i wish i could refill my cup of coffee
that way.
Its contents are used to read and write the NVRAM copy of the private
configuration.
