On my machine, this is:

% ls -al /etc/pcp/pmcd/pmcd.conf /etc/pcp/pmcd/pmcd.options
-rw-r--r--. 1 root  pcpqa 770 Apr 23 21:26 /etc/pcp/pmcd/pmcd.conf
-rw-r--r--. 1 pcpqa pcpqa 606 Apr  7 21:58 /etc/pcp/pmcd/pmcd.options

It indicates that running the pcpqa suite leaves stains, as it were,
on the well-bleached defaults that come with the base package.  (I've
long dreamed of a pcpqa implementation that leaves the /etc/pcp/*
files and system daemons well alone, and runs private copies on
alternate ports etc. only.)
