Nice idea but access.conf is not accessible through /etc/sysconfig.

niether are lots of other important files. Am I suppose to put them in there or something? how?

No, not if there's no config entry there, they should stay in /etc. But then i really don't get why the system does not notice you changed them. Could you give an example of such a change?
