We document hivetool to be a generic tool that you can use to query system settings as well as ThinLinc settings, and it's conveniently placed in $PATH.

> $ which hivetool
> /opt/thinlinc/bin/hivetool

> $ rpm -qf /opt/thinlinc/bin/hivetool
> thinlinc-tlmisc-4.5.0-4919.x86_64

> $ hivetool -a /
> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "/opt/thinlinc/bin/hivetool", line 186, in <module>
>     main()
>   File "/opt/thinlinc/bin/hivetool", line 172, in main
>     folder = hive.lookup(foldername)
> AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lookup'

> Traceback (most recent call last):

strace:ing shows hivetool look for /etc/root.hconf:
> stat("/etc/root.hconf", 0x7ffe0df4ac60) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

tl-config still works because it tells hivetool to use another hiveconf file as root.
