1 Files in /etc/sysconfig
2 =======================
4 /etc/sysconfig/keyboard:
6 KEYTABLE=<keytable file>
7 for example: KEYTABLE="/usr/lib/kbd/keytables/us.map"
11 MOUSETYPE=microsoft|mouseman|mousesystems|ps/2|msbm|logibm|atibm|
12 logitech|mmseries|mmhittab
13 XEMU3=yes|no (emulate three buttons with two buttons whenever
14 necessary, most notably in X)
16 In addition, /dev/mouse points to the mouse device.
18 /etc/sysconfig/network:
21 IPV4_NETWORKING=yes|no
22 IPV6_NETWORKING=yes|no
23 HOSTNAME=<whatever hostname you want, e.g. "pldmachine">
24 Note: for compatibility with some old software people might
25 install (like trn), the /etc/HOSTNAME file should contain the
27 NISDOMAIN=<nis domain name, e.g. "mydomain.org">
28 Note: set this only if you use NIS system. DNS domainname
29 should be set in /etc/resolv.conf
30 IGNORE_ICMP_BCAST_IPV4=yes|no (Please note that if you accept ICMP echo
31 requests with a broadcast/multicast destination address your network
32 may be used as an exploder for denial of service packet flooding attacks
34 SPOOFING_IPV4=yes|no (anti spoofing protection)
36 GATEWAYDEV=<gateway device> (e.g. eth0)
38 IPXAUTOPRIMARY=on|off (note, that MUST be on|off, not yes|no)
39 IPXAUTOFRAME=on|off (again, not yes|no)
40 IPXINTERNALNETNUM=<netnum>
41 IPXINTERNALNODENUM=<nodenum>
43 All the IPX stuff is optional, and should default to off.
45 /etc/sysconfig/static-nat
47 Configuration file for static Network Address Translation (NAT).
48 Contains lines of the form:
50 <address> via <addressreal>
52 NAT will translate address <address> to <addressreal>.
54 /etc/sysconfig/static-routes:
56 Contains lines of the form:
58 <device> to [type] <network>/<prefix> via <gateway>
60 <device> may be a device name to have the route brought up and
61 down with the device, or "any" to have the correct devices calculated
62 at run time. [type] is optional. RH style isn't supported!
64 Also you can set few options after "<gateway>":
70 mtu <mtu> or mtu lock <mtu>
78 For more informations see iproute2 documentation.
80 /etc/sysconfig/static-routes6:
82 Same as /etc/sysconfig/static-routes but for IPv6.
84 /etc/sysconfig/routed:
89 /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia:
93 PCIC_OPTS=<socket driver (i82365 or tcic) timing parameters>
94 CORE_OPTS=<pcmcia_core options>
95 CARDMGR_OPTS=<cardmgr options>
99 ADIR=/.automount (normally never changed)
100 MOUNTPTS='/net /etc/amd.conf' (standard automount stuff)
101 AMDOPTS= (extra options for AMD)
106 Tape device. Use the non-rewinding one for these scripts.
108 For SCSI tapes this is /dev/nst#, where # is the number of the
109 tape drive you want to use. If you only have one then use
112 For IDE tapes you use /dev/ht#, where # is the number of the tape
113 drive you want to use (usually ht0).
115 For floppy tape drives use /dev/ftape.
118 Person to mail to if the backup fails for any reason
121 Time to sleep between tape operations. Some drives need a bit
122 more than others, but 5 seems to work for 8mm, 4mm, and DLT
125 This worked fine for 8mm, then 4mm, and now DLT. An optimal
126 setting is probably however much data your drive writes at one
129 SHORTDATE=$(date +%y:%m:%d:%H:%M)
130 A short date string, used in backup log filenames.
132 DAY=$(date +log-%y:%m:%d)
133 This is used for the log file directory.
136 Regular date string, used in log files.
138 LOGROOT=/var/log/backup
139 Root of the logging directory
141 LIST=$LOGROOT/incremental-list
142 This is the file name the incremental backup will use to store
143 the incremental list. It will be $LIST-{some number}.
145 DOTCOUNT=$LOGROOT/.count
146 For counting as you go to know which incremental list to use
148 COUNTER=$LOGROOT/counter-file
149 For rewinding when done...might not use.
151 BACKUPTAB=/etc/backuptab
152 The file in which we keep our list of backup(s) we want to make.
154 /etc/sysconfig/sendmail:
158 given to sendmail as -q$QUEUE
159 -q option is not given to sendmail if /etc/sysconfig/sendmail
160 exists and QUEUE is empty or undefined.
164 LANG= is the default setting of localedata configuration
165 (ISO-639-1 language code with ISO-3166-1 country code and optional
166 variant and/or encoding, eg. fr_CA, fr_CA.UTF-8);
167 LC_CTYPE=, LC_COLLATE=, LC_MESSAGES=, LC_NUMERIC=, LC_MONETARY=, LC_TIME=
168 are the individual category settings
169 LC_ALL= overrides all of the above LC_*
170 LANGUAGE= can be a : separated list of language codes
171 see locale(7) for details
172 SYSTERM= use to set default TERM environment variable
174 The above variables are used in rc.sysinit.
176 SYSFONT= any font that is legal when used as
177 /usr/sbin/setfont $SYSFONT ...
178 (See kbd package for sysfont command)
180 UNIMAP= any unicode font that is legal fodder for
181 /usr/sbin/setfont $SYSFONT-u $UNIMAP
183 The above is used by the /sbin/setsysfont command (which is run
184 by rc.sysinit at boot time).
186 /etc/sysconfig/<service>
188 The following are used when starting service.
190 SERVICE_LIMITS="-u unlimited -c 0"
191 System limits for this service.
193 SERVICE_CPUSET="name"
