5.5 The Service.conf
The file Service.conf in the directory /etc/opt/DVS/Venice/ 
stores various configuration settings. Among them you can find the 
user name and the IP address used by the VENICE server software. You 
can change these settings to your liking (see section “IP Address Con-
figuration” on page 2-5).
Whenever, you change one of the configuration files of VENICE, the 
VENICE server software and the VENICE client software must be re-
started (see section “Controlling the VENICE Server Software” on 
page 5-2).
