3 Files in /etc/sysconfig
4 =======================
6 /etc/sysconfig/keyboard:
8 KEYTABLE=<keytable file>
9 for example: KEYTABLE="/usr/lib/kbd/keytables/us.map"
13 MOUSETYPE=microsoft|mouseman|mousesystems|ps/2|msbm|logibm|atibm|
14 logitech|mmseries|mmhittab
15 XEMU3=yes|no (emulate three buttons with two buttons whenever
16 necessary, most notably in X)
18 In addition, /dev/mouse points to the mouse device.
20 /etc/sysconfig/network:
23 IPV4_NETWORKING=yes|no
24 IPV6_NETWORKING=yes|no
25 HOSTNAME=<whatever hostname you want, e.g. "pldmachine">
26 Note: for compatibility with some old software people might
27 install (like trn), the /etc/HOSTNAME file should contain the
29 NISDOMAIN=<nis domain name, e.g. "mydomain.org">
30 Note: set this only if you use NIS system. DNS domainname
31 should be set in /etc/resolv.conf
32 IGNORE_ICMP_BCAST_IPV4=yes|no (Please note that if you accept ICMP echo
33 requests with a broadcast/multicast destination address your network
34 may be used as an exploder for denial of service packet flooding attacks
36 SPOOFING_IPV4=yes|no (anti spoofing protection)
38 GATEWAYDEV=<gateway device> (e.g. eth0)
40 IPXAUTOPRIMARY=on|off (note, that MUST be on|off, not yes|no)
41 IPXAUTOFRAME=on|off (again, not yes|no)
42 IPXINTERNALNETNUM=<netnum>
43 IPXINTERNALNODENUM=<nodenum>
45 All the IPX stuff is optional, and should default to off.
47 /etc/sysconfig/static-nat
49 Configuration file for static Network Address Translation (NAT).
50 Contains lines of the form:
52 <address> via <addressreal>
54 NAT will translate address <address> to <addressreal>.
56 /etc/sysconfig/static-routes:
58 Contains lines of the form:
60 <device> to [type] <network>/<prefix> via <gateway>
62 <device> may be a device name to have the route brought up and
63 down with the device, or "any" to have the correct devices calculated
64 at run time. [type] is optional. RH style isn't supported!
66 Also you can set few options after "<gateway>":
72 mtu <mtu> or mtu lock <mtu>
80 For more informations see iproute2 documentation.
82 /etc/sysconfig/static-routes6:
84 Same as /etc/sysconfig/static-routes but for IPv6.
86 /etc/sysconfig/routed:
91 /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia:
95 PCIC_OPTS=<socket driver (i82365 or tcic) timing parameters>
96 CORE_OPTS=<pcmcia_core options>
97 CARDMGR_OPTS=<cardmgr options>
101 ADIR=/.automount (normally never changed)
102 MOUNTPTS='/net /etc/amd.conf' (standard automount stuff)
103 AMDOPTS= (extra options for AMD)
108 Tape device. Use the non-rewinding one for these scripts.
110 For SCSI tapes this is /dev/nst#, where # is the number of the
111 tape drive you want to use. If you only have one then use
114 For IDE tapes you use /dev/ht#, where # is the number of the tape
115 drive you want to use (usually ht0).
117 For floppy tape drives use /dev/ftape.
120 Person to mail to if the backup fails for any reason
123 Time to sleep between tape operations. Some drives need a bit
124 more than others, but 5 seems to work for 8mm, 4mm, and DLT
127 This worked fine for 8mm, then 4mm, and now DLT. An optimal
128 setting is probably however much data your drive writes at one
131 SHORTDATE=$(date +%y:%m:%d:%H:%M)
132 A short date string, used in backup log filenames.
134 DAY=$(date +log-%y:%m:%d)
135 This is used for the log file directory.
138 Regular date string, used in log files.
140 LOGROOT=/var/log/backup
141 Root of the logging directory
143 LIST=$LOGROOT/incremental-list
144 This is the file name the incremental backup will use to store
145 the incremental list. It will be $LIST-{some number}.
147 DOTCOUNT=$LOGROOT/.count
148 For counting as you go to know which incremental list to use
150 COUNTER=$LOGROOT/counter-file
151 For rewinding when done...might not use.
153 BACKUPTAB=/etc/backuptab
154 The file in which we keep our list of backup(s) we want to make.
156 /etc/sysconfig/sendmail:
160 given to sendmail as -q$QUEUE
161 -q option is not given to sendmail if /etc/sysconfig/sendmail
162 exists and QUEUE is empty or undefined.
166 LANG= can be any two letter ISO language code
167 LC_ALL= is the setting of the localedata configuration (eg fr_CA)
168 LINGUAS= can be a : separated list of language codes
169 SYSTERM= use to set default TERM environment variable
171 The above three variables are used in rc.sysinit.
173 SYSFONT= any font that is legal when used as
174 /usr/sbin/setfont $SYSFONT ...
175 (See kbd package for sysfont command)
177 UNIMAP= any unicode font that is legal fodder for
178 /usr/sbin/setfont $SYSFONT-u $UNIMAP
180 The above is used by the /sbin/setsysfont command (which is run
181 by rc.sysinit at boot time).
183 /etc/sysconfig/<service>
185 The following are used when starting service.
187 SERVICE_LIMITS="-u unlimited -c 0"
188 System limits for this service.
190 SERVICE_CPUSET="name"
191 CPUSET to run this service in.
194 File creation mask for this service.
196 SERVICE_RUN_NICE_LEVEL="0"
197 Scheduling priority for this service.
