This should be set in horde/config/conf.php, at least in CVS HEAD.  Don't
have a release version to check right now, but I'd bet it might be in
horde/config/horde.php in those?

Nope.

In your horde config file.

Good, at least we know what the problem is, now it is just a matter of how
to fix it.

That is a totally different issue/problem.

Could be your files (.forward, .vacation*) have the wrong ownership or
permissions, or could be they are the wrong format, or could be you didn't
set up smrsh correctly.

Check the above.  Does vacation work if you set it up manually?  Does
a "vacation -i" fix the problem?  Are the permissions/ownership correct on
the files?
