NAME
rc.conf
—
init configuration
DESCRIPTION
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:
FONT
- passed to setfont(8) on all activated ttys (by default, tty[1-4]).
FONT_MAP
- passed with the argument
-m
to setfont(8). FONT_UNIMAP
- passed with the argument
-u
to setfont(8). KEYMAP
- passed to loadkeys(1).
INTERFACE
- used to bring up an interface with ip(8).
KILLDELAY
- how long to wait between sending the
SIGKILL
andSIGTERM
on system shutdown. LANG
- default locale for the system. Can be overridden by the user's shell configuration files.
HOSTNAME
- 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.
TIMEZONE
- 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.
