Files in /etc/sysconfig
=======================
/etc/sysconfig/clock:
deprecated values from earlier releases:
CLOCKMODE=GMT indicates that the clock is set to UTC
CLOCKMODE=ARC on alpha only indicates the ARC console's
42-year time offset is in effect
currently correct values:
UTC=true indicates that the clock is set to UTC; anything
else indicates that it is set to local time
ARC=true on alpha only indicates the ARC console's
42-year time offset is in effect; otherwise the normal
Unix epoch is assumed
ZONE="filename" indicates the zonefile under /usr/share/zoneinfo
that /etc/localtime is a copy of, for example:
ZONE="US/Eastern"
/etc/sysconfig/desktop:
DESKTOP=GNOME|KDE|AnotherLevel
This determines the display manager started by /etc/X11/prefdm
/etc/sysconfig/init:
BOOTUP=<some bootup mode>
BOOTUP=color means new (as of RH6.0) boot display.
BOOTUP=verbose means old style display
Anything else means new display, but without ANSI-formatting
LOGLEVEL=<a number>
Sets the initial console logging level for the kernel.
The default is 7. 8 means everything (including debugging);
1 means nothing except kernel panics. syslogd will override
this once it starts.
RES_COL=<a number>
Column of the screen to start status labels at. Defaults to 60
MOVE_TO_COL=<a command>
A command to move the cursor to $RES_COL. Defaults to nasty
ANSI sequences output by echo -e.
SETCOLOR_SUCCESS=<a command>
A command to set the color to a color indicating success.
Defaults to nasty ANSI sequences output by echo -e setting
the color to green.
SETCOLOR_FAILURE=<a command>
A command to set the color to a color indicating failure.
Defaults to nasty ANSI sequences output by echo -e setting
the color to red.
SETCOLOR_WARNING=<a command>
A command to set the color to a color indicating warning.
Defaults to nasty ANSI sequences output by echo -e setting
the color to yellow.
SETCOLOR_NORMAL=<a command>
A command to set the color to 'normal'. Defaults to nasty
ANSI sequences output by echo -e.
PROMPT=yes|no
Set to 'no' to disable the key check for interactive mode.
obsoleted values from earlier releases:
MAGIC_SYSRQ=yes|no
Setting this to 'no' used to disable the magic sysrq key and
Stop-A (break on serial console) on SPARC. This setting has been
moved into kernel.sysrq and kernel.stop-a settings respectively in
/etc/sysctl.conf. Setting either of them there to 0 disables it,
setting it to 1 enables it.
STOP_A=yes|no
Setting this to 'no' used to disable the Stop-A (break on
serial console) key on SPARC.
This setting has been moved into kernel.stop-a setting in
/etc/sysctl.conf. Setting it there to 0 disables it,
setting it to 1 enables it. The setting should be present
on SPARC only.
/etc/sysconfig/keyboard:
KEYTABLE=<keytable file>
for example: KEYTABLE="/usr/lib/kbd/keytables/us.map"
If you dump a keymap (using 'dumpkeys') to
/etc/sysconfig/console/default.kmap
it will be loaded on bootup before filesystems are mounted/checked.
This could be useful if you need to emergency type the root password.
This has to be a dumped keymap, as opposed to copying the shipped
keymap files, as the shipped files include other maps from the
/usr/lib/kbd/keytables directory.
KEYBOARDTYPE=sun|pc
on SPARC only, sun means a sun keyboard is attached on /dev/kbd,
pc means a PS/2 keyboard is on ps/2 port.
/etc/sysconfig/mouse:
MOUSETYPE=microsoft|mouseman|mousesystems|ps/2|msbm|logibm|atibm|
logitech|mmseries|mmhittab
XEMU3=yes|no (emulate three buttons with two buttons whenever
necessary, most notably in X)
DEVICE=<a device node> (the device of the mouse)
In addition, /dev/mouse points to the mouse device.
/etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING=yes|no
HOSTNAME=<fqdn by default, but whatever hostname you want>
GATEWAY=<gateway IP>
GATEWAYDEV=<gateway device> (e.g. eth0)
NISDOMAIN=<nis domain name>
IPX=yes|no
IPXAUTOPRIMARY=on|off (note, that MUST be on|off, not yes|no)
IPXAUTOFRAME=on|off (again, not yes|no)
IPXINTERNALNETNUM=<netnum>
IPXINTERNALNODENUM=<nodenum>
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes|no
Enable or disable global IPv6 initialization
IPV6FORWARDING=yes|no
Enable or disable global forwarding of incoming IPv6 packes
on all interfaces.
Note: Actual packet forwarding cannot be controlled per-device.
IPV6INIT=yes|no
Enable or disable IPv6 configuration for all interfaces.
Use with caution!
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes|no
Sets the default for device-based autoconfiguration.
Default: yes if IPV6FORWARDING=no, no if IPV6FORWARDING=yes
IPV6_ROUTER=yes|no
Sets the default for device-based Host/Router behaviour.
Default: yes if IPV6FORWARDING=yes, no if IPV6FORWARDING=no
IPV6_AUTOTUNNEL=yes|no
Controls automatic IPv6 tunneling.
IPV6_TUNNELMODE=IP|NBMA [OPTIONAL: IP by default]
Mode of tunnel setup
IP: separate tunnel device mode (now recommeded)
NBMA: NBMA-styled tunnel mode (now mostly obsolete)
All IPv6 options can be overridden in interface-specific configuration.
obsoleted values from earlier releases:
FORWARD_IPV4=yes|no
This setting has been moved into net.ipv4.ip_forward setting
in /etc/sysctl.conf. Setting it to 1 there enables IP forwarding,
setting it to 0 disables it (which is the default for RFC compliance).
DEFRAG_IPV4=yes|no
Setting this to yes used to automatically defragment IPv4
packets. This is a good idea for masquerading, and
a bad idea otherwise. This setting was moved into
net.ipv4.ip_always_defrag setting in /etc/sysctl.conf. It
is no longer valid for 2.4 kernels.
IPX=yes|no
IPXAUTOPRIMARY=on|off (note, that MUST be on|off, not yes|no)
IPXAUTOFRAME=on|off (again, not yes|no)
IPXINTERNALNETNUM=<netnum>
IPXINTERNALNODENUM=<nodenum>
/etc/sysconfig/static-routes:
Contains lines of the form:
<device> host|net <arguments to route command>
<device> may be a device name to have the route brought up and
down with the device, or "any" to have the correct devices calculated
at run time.
For example:
eth0 host 192.168.2.2 eth0
adds a host route through eth0 to 192.168.2.2, while
any net 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 ppp0
adds a network route to the 192.168.2.0 network through ppp0.
/etc/sysconfig/static-routes-ipv6:
Contains lines of the form:
<device> ipv6network ipv6gateway
<tunneldevice> ipv6network
<device> must be a device name to have the route brought up and
down with the device
For example:
eth0 fec0:0:0:2::/64 fec0:0:0:1:0:0:0:20
adds a route for IPv6 network fec0:0:0:2::/64 through fec0:0:0:1:0:0:0:20
eth0 2000::/3 3ffe:400:100:f101::1
eth0 3ffe::/16 3ffe:400:100:f101::1
so-called "default" route for clients
sit1 2000::/3
sit1 3ffe::/16
adds routes through virtual tunnel sit1
/etc/sysconfig/routed:
SILENT=yes|no
EXPORT_GATEWAY=yes|no
/etc/sysconfig/rawdevices:
This is used for setting up raw device to block device mappings.
It has the format:
<rawdev> <major> <minor>
<rawdev> <blockdev>
For example:
/dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sda1
/dev/raw/raw2 8 5
/etc/sysconfig/pcmcia:
PCMCIA=yes|no
PCIC=i82365|tcic
PCIC_OPTS=<socket driver (i82365 or tcic) timing parameters>
CORE_OPTS=<pcmcia_core options>
CARDMGR_OPTS=<cardmgr options>
/etc/sysconfig/amd:
ADIR=/.automount (normally never changed)
MOUNTPTS='/net /etc/amd.conf' (standard automount stuff)
AMDOPTS= (extra options for AMD)
/etc/sysconfig/tape:
DEV=/dev/nst0
Tape device. Use the non-rewinding one for these scripts.
For SCSI tapes this is /dev/nst#, where # is the number of the
tape drive you want to use. If you only have one then use
nst0.
For IDE tapes you use /dev/ht#, where # is the number of the tape
drive you want to use (usually ht0).
For floppy tape drives use /dev/ftape.
ADMIN=root
Person to mail to if the backup fails for any reason
SLEEP=5
Time to sleep between tape operations. Some drives need a bit
more than others, but 5 seems to work for 8mm, 4mm, and DLT
BLOCKSIZE=32768
This worked fine for 8mm, then 4mm, and now DLT. An optimal
setting is probably however much data your drive writes at one
time.
SHORTDATE=$(date +%y:%m:%d:%H:%M)
A short date string, used in backup log filenames.
DAY=$(date +log-%y:%m:%d)
This is used for the log file directory.
DATE=$(date)
Regular date string, used in log files.
LOGROOT=/var/log/backup
Root of the logging directory
LIST=$LOGROOT/incremental-list
This is the file name the incremental backup will use to store
the incremental list. It will be $LIST-{some number}.
DOTCOUNT=$LOGROOT/.count
For counting as you go to know which incremental list to use
COUNTER=$LOGROOT/counter-file
For rewinding when done...might not use.
BACKUPTAB=/etc/backuptab
The file in which we keep our list of backup(s) we want to make.
/etc/sysconfig/sendmail:
DAEMON=yes|no
yes implies -bd (i.e., listen on port 25 for new mail)
QUEUE=1h
given to sendmail as -q$QUEUE
-q option is not given to sendmail if /etc/sysconfig/sendmail
exists and QUEUE is empty or undefined.
/etc/sysconfig/i18n
LANG= set locale for all categories, can be any two letter ISO
language code
LC_CTYPE= localedata configuration for classification and conversion
of characters
LC_COLLATE= localedata configuration for collation (sort order) of
strings
LC_MESSAGES= localedata configuration for translation of yes and no
messages
LC_NUMERIC= localedata configuration for non-monetary numeric data
LC_MONETARY= localedata configuration for monetary data
LC_TIME= localedata configuration for date and time
LC_ALL= localedata configuration overriding all of the above
LANGUAGE= can be a : separated list of ISO language codes
LINGUAS= can be a ' ' separated list of ISO language codes
The above variables are used in /etc/profile.d/lang.sh.
SYSFONT= any font that is legal when used as
/usr/bin/consolechars -f $SYSFONT ...
(See console-tools package for consolechars command)
UNIMAP= any SFM (screen font map, formerly called Unicode mapping
table - see consolechars(8))
/usr/bin/consolechars -f $SYSFONT --sfm $UNIMAP
SYSFONTACM= any ACM (application charset map - see consolechars(8))
/usr/bin/consolechars -f $SYSFONT --acm $SYSFONTACM
The above is used by the /sbin/setsysfont command (which is run
by rc.sysinit at boot time.)
/etc/sysconfig/harddisks
/etc/sysconfig/harddiskhd[a-h] (for specific devices)
These options are used to tune (E)IDE hard drives -
read the hdparm man page for more information
USE_DMA=1
Set this to 1 to enable DMA. This might cause some
data corruption on certain chipset / hard drive
combinations. USE WITH CAUTION AND BACKUP.
This is used with the "-d" option
MULTIPLE_IO=16
Multiple sector I/O. a feature of most modern IDE hard drives,
permitting the transfer of multiple sectors per I/O interrupt,
rather than the usual one sector per interrupt. When this feature
is enabled, it typically reduces operating system overhead for disk
I/O by 30-50%. On many systems, it also provides increased data
throughput of anywhere from 5% to 50%. Some drives, however (most
notably the WD Caviar series), seem to run slower with multiple mode
enabled. Under rare circumstances, such failures can result in
massive filesystem corruption. USE WITH CAUTION AND BACKUP.
This is the sector count for multiple sector I/O - the "-m" option
EIDE_32BIT=3
(E)IDE 32-bit I/O support (to interface card). USE WITH CAUTION.
LOOKAHEAD=1
Enable drive read-lookahead (safe)
EXTRA_PARAMS=<anything>
Add any extra parameters you want to pass to hdparm here.
Files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
========================================
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown:
Symlinks to /sbin/ifup and /sbin/ifdown, respectively.
These are the only two scripts "in" this directory that should
be called directly; these two scripts call all the other
scripts as needed. These symlinks are here for legacy purposes
only -- they'll will probably be removed in future versions, so
only /sbin/ifup and /sbin/ifdown should currently be used.
These scripts take one argument normally: the name of the device
(e.g. eth0). They are called with a second argument of "boot"
during the boot sequence so that devices that are not meant to
be brought up on boot (ONBOOT=no, see below) can be ignored at
that time.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/init.ipv6-global:
Not really a public file. Contains different basic settings that
are set from /etc/rc.d/init.d/network at different stages of
network initialization.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions:
Not really a public file. Contains functions which the scripts use
for bringing interfaces up and down. In particular, it contains
most of the code for handling alternative interface configurations
and interface change notification through netreport.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions-ipv6:
Not really a public file. Contains functions which the scripts use
for bringing IPv6 on interfaces up and down, like addresses, routes,
forwarding handling and static or automatic tunneling.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface-name> and
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface-name>:<alias-name>:
The first defines an interface, and the second contains
only the parts of the definition that are different in a
"alias" (or alternative) interface. For example, the
network numbers might be different, but everything else
might be the same, so only the network numbers would be
in the alias file, but all the device information would
be in the base ifcfg file.
The items that can be defined in an ifcfg file depend on the
interface type. The really obvious ones I'm not going to
bother to define; you can figure out what "IPADDR" is, I
think... :-)
Base items:
NAME=<friendly name for users to see>
Most important for PPP. Only used in front ends.
DEVICE=<name of physical device (except dynamically-allocated PPP
devices where it is the "logical name")>
IPADDR=
NETMASK=
GATEWAY=
ONBOOT=yes|no
USERCTL=yes|no
BOOTPROTO=none|bootp|dhcp
MTU=
PEERDNS=yes|no
modify /etc/resolv.conf if peer uses msdns extension (PPP only) or
DNS{1,2} are set, or if using pump or dhcpcd. default to "yes".
DNS{1,2}=<ipaddress>
provide DNS addresses that are dropped into the resolv.conf
file if PEERDNS is not set to "no".
FIREWALL_MODS=yes|no
modify firewall to attempt to allow DNS through. Defaults to 'yes'.
If BOOTPROTO is not "none", then the only other item that
must be set is the DEVICE item; all the rest will be determined
by the boot protocol. No "dummy" entries need to be created.

PPP/SLIP items:
PERSIST=yes|no
MODEMPORT=<device, say /dev/modem>
LINESPEED=<speed, say 115200>
DEFABORT=yes|no (tells netcfg whether or not to put default
abort strings in when creating/editing the chat script and/or
dip script for this interface)
(meaningless with WVDIALSECT)
PPP-specific items
WVDIALSECT=<list of sections from wvdial.conf to use>
If this variable is set, then the chat script (if it
exists) is ignored, and wvdial is used to open the
PPP connection.
DEFROUTE=yes|no (set this interface as default route? yes is default)
DEBUG=yes|no (defaults to yes)
turns on/off pppd and chat (if used) debugging.
ESCAPECHARS=yes|no (simplified interface here doesn't let people
specify which characters to escape; almost everyone can use
asyncmap 00000000 anyway, and they can set PPPOPTIONS to
asyncmap foobar if they want to set options perfectly)
HARDFLOWCTL=yes|no (yes imples "modem crtscts" options)
PPPOPTIONS=<arbitrary option string; is placed last on the
command line, so it can override other options like asyncmap
that were specified differently>
PAPNAME=<"name $PAPNAME" on pppd command line> (note that
the "remotename" option is always specified as the logical
ppp device name, like "ppp0" (which might perhaps be the
physical device ppp1 if some other ppp device was brought
up earlier...), which makes it easy to manage pap/chap
files -- name/password pairs are associated with the
logical ppp device name so that they can be managed
together.
REMIP=<remote ip address, normally unspecified>
MTU=
MRU=
DISCONNECTTIMEOUT=<number of seconds, default currently 5>
(time to wait before re-establishing the connection after
a successfully-connected session terminates before attempting
to establish a new connection.)
RETRYTIMEOUT=<number of seconds, default currently 60>
(time to wait before re-attempting to establish a connection
after a previous attempt fails.)
RETRYCONNECT=yes|no (defaults to yes)
If this is yes, then we will re-run pppd if it exits with a
"connect script failed" status. Otherwise, only one attempt
is made to bring up the connection. Note that some connect
scripts (for example, wvdial) might do their own retries (such
as BUSY or NO DIALTONE conditions).
MAXFAIL=<number>
If this is set, this will cause ppp-watch to exit after
the specified number of attempts.
DEMAND=yes|no
Switches on demand-dialing mode using pppd's "demand" option.
IDLETIMEOUT=600
The amount of time the link needs to be inactive before pppd will
bring it down automatically.
BOOTTIMEOUT=30
The amount of time to wait at boot before giving up on the
connection.

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-<interface-name>:
chat script for PPP or SLIP connection intended to establish
the connection. For SLIP devices, a DIP script is written
from the chat script; for PPP devices, the chat script is used
directly.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/dip-<interface-name>
A write-only script created from the chat script by netcfg.
Do not modify this. In the future, this file may disappear
by default and created on-the-fly from the chat script if
it does not exist.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post
Called when any network device EXCEPT a SLIP device comes
up. Calls /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-routes to
bring up static routes that depend on that device. Calls
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases to bring up
aliases for that device. Sets the hostname if it is not
already set and a hostname can be found for the IP for that
device. Sends SIGIO to any programs that have requested
notification of network events.
Could be extended to fix up nameservice configuration, call
arbitrary scripts, etc, as needed.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-routes
Set up static routes for a device.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases
Bring up aliases for a device.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdhcpc-done
Called by dhcpcd once dhcp configuration is complete; sets
up /etc/resolv.conf from the version dhcpcd dropped in
/etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf
