1 Files in /etc/sysconfig
2 =======================
7 Set to 'yes' to enable automatic swapon of all partitions with
8 the proper swap magic. This allows setting up swap without editing
11 /etc/sysconfig/keyboard:
13 KEYTABLE=<keytable file>
14 for example: KEYTABLE="/usr/lib/kbd/keytables/us.map"
18 MOUSETYPE=microsoft|mouseman|mousesystems|ps/2|msbm|logibm|atibm|
19 logitech|mmseries|mmhittab
20 XEMU3=yes|no (emulate three buttons with two buttons whenever
21 necessary, most notably in X)
23 In addition, /dev/mouse points to the mouse device.
25 /etc/sysconfig/network:
28 IPV4_NETWORKING=yes|no
29 IPV6_NETWORKING=yes|no
30 HOSTNAME=<whatever hostname you want, e.g. "tldlinux">
31 Note: for compatibility with some old software people might
32 install (like trn), the /etc/HOSTNAME file should contain the
34 NISDOMAIN=<nis domain name, e.g. "mydomain.org">
35 Note: set this only if you use NIS system. DNS domainname
36 should be set in /etc/resolv.conf
37 IGNORE_ICMP_BCAST_IPV4=yes|no (Please note that if you accept ICMP echo
38 requests with a broadcast/multicast destination address your network
39 may be used as an exploder for denial of service packet flooding attacks
41 SPOOFING_IPV4=yes|no (anti spoofing protection)
43 GATEWAYDEV=<gateway device> (e.g. eth0)
45 IPXAUTOPRIMARY=on|off (note, that MUST be on|off, not yes|no)
46 IPXAUTOFRAME=on|off (again, not yes|no)
47 IPXINTERNALNETNUM=<netnum>
48 IPXINTERNALNODENUM=<nodenum>
50 All the IPX stuff is optional, and should default to off.
52 /etc/sysconfig/static-nat
54 Configuration file for static Network Address Translation (NAT).
55 Contains lines of the form:
57 <address> via <addressreal>
59 NAT will translate address <address> to <addressreal>.
61 /etc/sysconfig/static-routes:
63 Contains lines of the form:
65 <device> to [type] <network>/<prefix> via <gateway>
67 <device> may be a device name to have the route brought up and
68 down with the device, or "any" to have the correct devices calculated
69 at run time. [type] is optional. RH style isn't supported!
71 Also you can set few options after "<gateway>":
77 mtu <mtu> or mtu lock <mtu>
85 For more informations see iproute2 documentation.
87 /etc/sysconfig/static-routes6:
89 Same as /etc/sysconfig/static-routes but for IPv6.
91 /etc/sysconfig/routed:
96 /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia:
100 PCIC_OPTS=<socket driver (i82365 or tcic) timing parameters>
101 CORE_OPTS=<pcmcia_core options>
102 CARDMGR_OPTS=<cardmgr options>
106 ADIR=/.automount (normally never changed)
107 MOUNTPTS='/net /etc/amd.conf' (standard automount stuff)
108 AMDOPTS= (extra options for AMD)
113 Tape device. Use the non-rewinding one for these scripts.
115 For SCSI tapes this is /dev/nst#, where # is the number of the
116 tape drive you want to use. If you only have one then use
119 For IDE tapes you use /dev/ht#, where # is the number of the tape
120 drive you want to use (usually ht0).
122 For floppy tape drives use /dev/ftape.
125 Person to mail to if the backup fails for any reason
128 Time to sleep between tape operations. Some drives need a bit
129 more than others, but 5 seems to work for 8mm, 4mm, and DLT
132 This worked fine for 8mm, then 4mm, and now DLT. An optimal
133 setting is probably however much data your drive writes at one
136 SHORTDATE=$(date +%y:%m:%d:%H:%M)
137 A short date string, used in backup log filenames.
139 DAY=$(date +log-%y:%m:%d)
140 This is used for the log file directory.
143 Regular date string, used in log files.
145 LOGROOT=/var/log/backup
146 Root of the logging directory
148 LIST=$LOGROOT/incremental-list
149 This is the file name the incremental backup will use to store
150 the incremental list. It will be $LIST-{some number}.
152 DOTCOUNT=$LOGROOT/.count
153 For counting as you go to know which incremental list to use
155 COUNTER=$LOGROOT/counter-file
156 For rewinding when done...might not use.
158 BACKUPTAB=/etc/backuptab
159 The file in which we keep our list of backup(s) we want to make.
161 /etc/sysconfig/sendmail:
165 given to sendmail as -q$QUEUE
166 -q option is not given to sendmail if /etc/sysconfig/sendmail
167 exists and QUEUE is empty or undefined.
171 LANG= is the default setting of localedata configuration
172 (ISO-639-1 language code with ISO-3166-1 country code and optional
173 variant and/or encoding, eg. fr_CA, fr_CA.UTF-8);
174 LC_CTYPE=, LC_COLLATE=, LC_MESSAGES=, LC_NUMERIC=, LC_MONETARY=, LC_TIME=
175 are the individual category settings
176 LC_ALL= overrides all of the above LC_*
177 LANGUAGE= can be a : separated list of language codes
178 see locale(7) for details
179 SYSTERM= use to set default TERM environment variable
181 The above variables are used in rc.sysinit.
183 SYSFONT= any font that is legal when used as
184 /usr/sbin/setfont $SYSFONT ...
185 (See kbd package for sysfont command)
187 UNIMAP= any unicode font that is legal fodder for
188 /usr/sbin/setfont $SYSFONT-u $UNIMAP
190 The above is used by the /sbin/setsysfont command (which is run
191 by rc.sysinit at boot time).
193 /etc/sysconfig/<service>
195 The following are used when starting service.
197 SERVICE_LIMITS="-u unlimited -c 0"
198 System limits for this service.
200 SERVICE_CPUSET="name"
