<p class="Pp">This manual page describes the format of the
<span class="Pa">/etc/rc.conf</span> file. This file is a simple POSIX
<a class="Xr" href="sh.1p.html">sh(1p)</a> script that defines font,
timezone, hostname and services which are used on system initialization and
shutdown.</p>
<p class="Pp">The file consists of a number of variable assignments of the form
“variable=value”. Comments can be specified by putting a hash
(‘<code class="Li">#</code>’) symbol as the first character on
the line.</p>
<p class="Pp">The different configuration variables are:</p>
<dl class="Bl-tag">
<dt id="BLANKTIME"><a class="permalink" href="#BLANKTIME"><b class="Sy">BLANKTIME</b></a>=⟨<var class="Ar">0-60</var>
| <var class="Ar">force</var> | <var class="Ar">poke</var>⟩</dt>
<dd>Specifies the interval of console inactivity, in minutes, after which the
screen will be automatically blanked. The contents of this variable will
be passed as argument to
<a class="Xr" href="setterm.1.html">setterm(1)</a>.
<p class="Pp">The <var class="Ar">force</var> argument keeps the screen
blank even if a key is pressed.</p>
<p class="Pp">The <var class="Ar">poke</var> argument unblanks the
screen.</p>
<p class="Pp">If <b class="Sy">BLANKTIME</b> is unset, then
<a class="Xr" href="rc.8.html">rc(8)</a> make screen blanks after 15
minutes of idle time.</p>
<p class="Pp">Example: “BLANKTIME=15”</p>
</dd>
<dt id="FONT"><a class="permalink" href="#FONT"><b class="Sy">FONT</b></a>=⟨<var class="Ar">STRING</var>⟩</dt>
<dd>Specifies which console font to load at system startup. The contents of
this variable will be passed as argument to
<a class="Xr" href="setfont.8.html">setfont(8)</a>. The available fonts
are located in <span class="Pa">/usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/</span>.
<p class="Pp">Example: “FONT=default”</p>
</dd>
<dt id="KEYMAP"><a class="permalink" href="#KEYMAP"><b class="Sy">KEYMAP</b></a>=⟨<var class="Ar">STRING</var>⟩</dt>
<dd>Specifies which console keyboard map to load at system startup. The
contents of this variable will be passed as argument to
<a class="Xr" href="loadkeys.1.html">loadkeys(1)</a>. The available
keyboard maps are located in
<span class="Pa">/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/</span>.
<p class="Pp">Example: “KEYMAP=us”</p>
</dd>
<dt id="TIMEZONE"><a class="permalink" href="#TIMEZONE"><b class="Sy">TIMEZONE</b></a>=⟨<var class="Ar">STRING</var>⟩</dt>
<dd>Specifies the timezone used by the system. The available zone description
files are located in <span class="Pa">/usr/share/zoneinfo/</span>.
<p class="Pp">Example: “TIMEZONE=Europe/Stockholm”</p>
</dd>
<dt id="HOSTNAME"><a class="permalink" href="#HOSTNAME"><b class="Sy">HOSTNAME</b></a>=⟨<var class="Ar">STRING</var>⟩</dt>
<dd>Specifies the hostname.
<p class="Pp">Example: “HOSTNAME=pluto”</p>
</dd>
<dt id="SEEDRNG_SKIP_CREDIT"><a class="permalink" href="#SEEDRNG_SKIP_CREDIT"><b class="Sy">SEEDRNG_SKIP_CREDIT</b></a>=⟨<var class="Ar">1</var>
| <var class="Ar">true</var> | <var class="Ar">yes</var> |
<var class="Ar">y</var>⟩</dt>
<dd>Specifies <a class="Xr" href="seedrng.8.html">seedrng(8)</a> that seeds
never credit the RNG, even if the seed file is creditable. Disabled by
default.
<p class="Pp">Example: “SEEDRNG_SKIP_CREDIT=false”</p>
</dd>
<dt id="SYSLOG"><a class="permalink" href="#SYSLOG"><b class="Sy">SYSLOG</b></a>=⟨<var class="Ar">STRING</var>⟩</dt>
<dd>Specifies the system logging daemon to run at startup. The daemon
specified in this string must have a matching start/stop script in
<span class="Pa">/etc/rc.d</span>.
<p class="Pp">Example: “SYSLOG=sysklogd”</p>
</dd>
<dt id="SERVICES"><a class="permalink" href="#SERVICES"><b class="Sy">SERVICES</b></a>=‘<code class="Li">⟨<var class="Ar">STRING
...</var>⟩</code>’</dt>
<dd>Specifies which services to start at system startup. The services
specified in this string must be separated by space and have a matching
start/stop script in <span class="Pa">/etc/rc.d/</span>. When entering
multi-user mode the specified scripts will be called in the specified
order with the argument “<code class="Li">start</code>”. At
system shutdown or when entering single-user mode these scripts will be
called in the reverse order with the argument
“<code class="Li">stop</code>”.
<p class="Pp">Example: “SERVICES=‘<code class="Li">lo crond
net sshd</code>’”</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p class="Pp">The reason why the <b class="Sy">SYSLOG</b> is specified
separately from the <b class="Sy">SERVICES</b> variable is as follows:
firstly, the syslog daemon also starts in the single-user mode, and
secondly, it is needed before the start of any services, so that the
services can log the result if their work.</p>
