RC.CONF(5) File Formats Manual RC.CONF(5)

rc.confinit configuration

The file /etc/rc.conf is sourced by rc.init(1) at boot and the shell variables defined in it are used to initialize the system. It is a simple shell script, which should define the special environment variables.

Currently, that includes the following:

passed to setfont(8) on all activated ttys (by default, tty[1-4]).
passed with the argument -m to setfont(8).
passed with the argument -u to setfont(8).
passed to loadkeys(1).
used to bring up an interface with ip(8).
how long to wait between sending the SIGKILL and SIGTERM on system shutdown.
default locale for the system. Can be overridden by the user's shell configuration files.
system hostname. If not set here, the first line of the file /etc/hostname will be used, or the fallback “galeb” if that file is also nonexistant.
system timezone. If not set here, and the link /etc/localtime is not present, it will be created pointing to the file /share/zoneinfo/GMT by default.
