2 | Files in /etc/sysconfig | |
3 | ======================= | |
4 | ||
5 | /etc/sysconfig/clock: | |
6 | ||
7 | deprecated values from earlier releases: | |
8 | ||
9 | CLOCKMODE=GMT indicates that the clock is set to UTC | |
10 | CLOCKMODE=ARC on alpha only indicates the ARC console's | |
11 | 42-year time offset is in effect | |
12 | ||
13 | currently correct values: | |
14 | ||
15 | UTC=true indicates that the clock is set to UTC; anything | |
16 | else indicates that it is set to local time | |
17 | ARC=true on alpha only indicates the ARC console's | |
18 | 42-year time offset is in effect; otherwise the normal | |
19 | Unix epoch is assumed | |
20 | ||
21 | ||
22 | /etc/sysconfig/keyboard: | |
23 | ||
24 | KEYTABLE=<keytable file> | |
25 | for example: KEYTABLE="/usr/lib/kbd/keytables/us.map" | |
26 | ||
27 | /etc/sysconfig/mouse: | |
28 | ||
29 | MOUSETYPE=microsoft|mouseman|mousesystems|ps/2|msbm|logibm|atibm| | |
30 | logitech|mmseries|mmhittab | |
31 | XEMU3=yes|no (emulate three buttons with two buttons whenever | |
32 | necessary, most notably in X) | |
33 | ||
34 | In addition, /dev/mouse points to the mouse device. | |
35 | ||
36 | /etc/sysconfig/network: | |
37 | ||
38 | NETWORKING=yes|no | |
7e04fe0e | 39 | IPV6NETWORKING=yes|no |
7742e157 AF |
40 | HOSTNAME=<fqdn by default, but whatever hostname you want> |
41 | Note: for compatibility with some old software people might | |
42 | install (like trn), the /etc/HOSTNAME file should contain the | |
43 | same value as here. | |
44 | FORWARD_IPV4=yes|no (The current Red Hat Linux installation | |
45 | sets this to no by default for RFC compliance, but if | |
46 | FORWARD_IPV4 is not set at all, forwarding is *enabled* | |
47 | for compatibility with the configuration files used on | |
48 | Red Hat Linux versions 4.2 and earlier.) | |
12de71be | 49 | IGNORE_ICMP_BCAST_IPV4=yes|no (Please note that if you accept ICMP echo |
50 | requests with a broadcast/multicast destination address your network | |
51 | may be used as an exploder for denial of service packet flooding attacks | |
52 | to other hosts. | |
53 | SPOOFING_IPV4=yes|no (anti spoofing protection) | |
7742e157 AF |
54 | GATEWAY=<gateway IP> |
55 | GATEWAYDEV=<gateway device> (e.g. eth0) | |
56 | NISDOMAIN=<nis domain name> | |
57 | IPX=yes|no | |
58 | IPXAUTOPRIMARY=on|off (note, that MUST be on|off, not yes|no) | |
59 | IPXAUTOFRAME=on|off (again, not yes|no) | |
60 | IPXINTERNALNETNUM=<netnum> | |
61 | IPXINTERNALNODENUM=<nodenum> | |
62 | ||
63 | All the IPX stuff is optional, and should default to off. | |
64 | ||
bd69a65a AM |
65 | /etc/sysconfig/static-nat |
66 | ||
67 | Configuration file for static Network Address Translation (NAT). | |
68 | Contains lines of the form: | |
69 | ||
70 | <address> via <addressreal> | |
71 | ||
72 | NAT will translate address <address> to <addressreal>. | |
73 | ||
7742e157 AF |
74 | /etc/sysconfig/static-routes: |
75 | ||
76 | Contains lines of the form: | |
77 | ||
bd69a65a | 78 | <device> to [type] <network>/<prefix> via <gateway> |
7742e157 AF |
79 | |
80 | <device> may be a device name to have the route brought up and | |
81 | down with the device, or "any" to have the correct devices calculated | |
bd69a65a AM |
82 | at run time. [type] is optional. RH style isn't supported ! |
83 | ||
84 | Also you can set few options after "<gateway>": | |
85 | tos <tos> | |
86 | metric <number> | |
87 | table <table> | |
88 | src <address> | |
89 | realm <realmid> | |
90 | mtu <mtu> or mtu lock <mtu> | |
91 | window <number> | |

93 | nexthop <nexthop> | |
94 | scope <scope> | |
95 | protocol <rtproto> | |
96 | onlink | |
97 | equalize | |

100 | /etc/sysconfig/routed: | |
101 | ||
102 | SILENT=yes|no | |
103 | EXPORT_GATEWAY=yes|no | |
104 | ||
105 | /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia: | |
106 | ||
107 | PCMCIA=yes|no | |
108 | PCIC=i82365|tcic | |
109 | PCIC_OPTS=<socket driver (i82365 or tcic) timing parameters> | |
110 | CORE_OPTS=<pcmcia_core options> | |
111 | CARDMGR_OPTS=<cardmgr options> | |
112 | ||
113 | /etc/sysconfig/amd: | |
114 | ||
115 | ADIR=/.automount (normally never changed) | |
116 | MOUNTPTS='/net /etc/amd.conf' (standard automount stuff) | |
117 | AMDOPTS= (extra options for AMD) | |
118 | ||
119 | /etc/sysconfig/tape: | |
120 | ||
121 | DEV=/dev/nst0 | |
122 | Tape device. Use the non-rewinding one for these scripts. | |
123 | ||
124 | For SCSI tapes this is /dev/nst#, where # is the number of the | |
125 | tape drive you want to use. If you only have one then use | |
126 | nst0. | |
127 | ||
128 | For IDE tapes you use /dev/ht#, where # is the number of the tape | |
129 | drive you want to use (usually ht0). | |
130 | ||
131 | For floppy tape drives use /dev/ftape. | |
132 | ||
133 | ADMIN=root | |
134 | Person to mail to if the backup fails for any reason | |
135 | ||
136 | SLEEP=5 | |
137 | Time to sleep between tape operations. Some drives need a bit | |
138 | more than others, but 5 seems to work for 8mm, 4mm, and DLT | |
139 | ||
140 | BLOCKSIZE=32768 | |
141 | This worked fine for 8mm, then 4mm, and now DLT. An optimal | |
142 | setting is probably however much data your drive writes at one | |
143 | time. | |
144 | ||
145 | SHORTDATE=$(date +%y:%m:%d:%H:%M) | |
146 | A short date string, used in backup log filenames. | |
147 | ||
148 | DAY=$(date +log-%y:%m:%d) | |
149 | This is used for the log file directory. | |
150 | ||
151 | DATE=$(date) | |
152 | Regular date string, used in log files. | |
153 | ||
154 | LOGROOT=/var/log/backup | |
155 | Root of the logging directory | |
156 | ||
157 | LIST=$LOGROOT/incremental-list | |
158 | This is the file name the incremental backup will use to store | |
159 | the incremental list. It will be $LIST-{some number}. | |
160 | ||
161 | DOTCOUNT=$LOGROOT/.count | |
162 | For counting as you go to know which incremental list to use | |
163 | ||
164 | COUNTER=$LOGROOT/counter-file | |
165 | For rewinding when done...might not use. | |
166 | ||
167 | BACKUPTAB=/etc/backuptab | |
168 | The file in which we keep our list of backup(s) we want to make. | |
169 | ||
12de71be | 170 | /etc/sysconfig/sendmail: |
171 | DAEMON=yes|no | |
172 | yes implies -bd | |
173 | QUEUE=1h | |
174 | given to sendmail as -q$QUEUE | |
175 | -q option is not given to sendmail if /etc/sysconfig/sendmail | |
176 | exists and QUEUE is empty or undefined. | |
7742e157 | 177 | |
7742e157 AF |
178 | /etc/sysconfig/i18n |
179 | ||
180 | LANG= can be any two letter ISO language code | |
12de71be | 181 | LC_ALL= is the setting of the localedata configuration (eg fr_CA) |
7742e157 AF |
182 | LINGUAS= can be a : separated list of language codes |
183 | SYSTERM= use to set default TERM environment variable | |
184 | ||
185 | The above three variables are used in rc.sysinit. | |
186 | ||
12de71be | 187 | SYSFONT= any font that is legal when used as |
188 | /usr/sbin/setfont $SYSFONT ... | |
189 | (See kbd package for sysfont command) | |
190 | ||
191 | UNIMAP= any unicode font that is legal fodder for | |
192 | /usr/sbin/setfont $SYSFONT-u $UNIMAP | |
7742e157 AF |
193 | |
194 | The above is used by the /sbin/setsysfont command (which is run | |
195 | by rc.sysinit at boot time). |
