28.Dt RC.CONF 5 29.Os 30.Sh NAME 31.Nm rc.conf 32.Nd system configuration information 33.Sh DESCRIPTION 34The file 35.Nm 36contains descriptive information about the local host name, configuration 37details for any potential network interfaces and which services should be 38started up at system initial boot time. 39In new installations, the 40.Nm 41file is generally initialized by the system installation utility. 42.Pp 43The purpose of 44.Nm 45is not to run commands or perform system startup actions 46directly. 47Instead, it is included by the 48various generic startup scripts in 49.Pa /etc 50which conditionalize their 51internal actions according to the settings found there. 52.Pp 53The 54.Pa /etc/rc.conf 55file is included from the file 56.Pa /etc/defaults/rc.conf , 57which specifies the default settings for all the available options. 58Options need only be specified in 59.Pa /etc/rc.conf 60when the system administrator wishes to override these defaults. 61The file 62.Pa /etc/rc.conf.local 63is used to override settings in 64.Pa /etc/rc.conf 65for historical reasons. 66In addition to 67.Pa /etc/rc.conf.local 68you can also place smaller configuration files for each 69.Xr rc 8 70script in the 71.Pa /etc/rc.conf.d 72directory, which will be included by the 73.Va load_rc_config 74function. 75For jail configurations you could use the file 76.Pa /etc/rc.conf.d/jail 77to store jail specific configuration options. 78Also see the 79.Va rc_conf_files 80variable below. 81.Pp 82Options are set with 83.Dq Ar name Ns Li = Ns Ar value 84assignments that use 85.Xr sh 1 86syntax. 87The following list provides a name and short description for each 88variable that can be set in the 89.Nm 90file: 91.Bl -tag -width indent-two 92.It Va rc_debug 93.Pq Vt bool 94If set to 95.Dq Li YES , 96enable output of debug messages from rc scripts. 97This variable can be helpful in diagnosing mistakes when 98editing or integrating new scripts. 99Beware that this produces copious output to the terminal and 100.Xr syslog 3 . 101.It Va rc_info 102.Pq Vt bool 103If set to 104.Dq Li NO , 105disable informational messages from the rc scripts. 106Informational messages are displayed when 107a condition that is not serious enough to warrant a warning or 108an error occurs. 109.It Va rc_startmsgs 110.Pq Vt bool 111If set to 112.Dq Li YES , 113show 114.Dq Starting foo: 115when faststart is used (e.g., at boot time). 116.It Va early_late_divider 117.Pq Vt str 118The name of the script that should be used as the 119delimiter between the 120.Dq early 121and 122.Dq late 123stages of the boot process. 124The early stage should contain all the services needed to 125get the disks (local or remote) mounted so that the late 126stage can include scripts contained in the directories 127listed in the 128.Va local_startup 129variable (see below). 130Thus, the two likely candidates for this value are 131.Pa mountcritlocal 132for the typical system, and 133.Pa mountcritremote 134if the system needs remote file 135systems mounted to get access to the 136.Va local_startup 137directories; for example when 138.Pa /usr/local 139is NFS mounted. 140For 141.Pa rc.conf 142within a 143.Xr jail 8 144.Pa NETWORKING 145is likely to be an appropriate value. 146Extreme care should be taken when changing this value, 147and before changing it one should ensure that there are 148adequate provisions to recover from a failed boot 149(such as physical contact with the machine, 150or reliable remote console access). 151.It Va always_force_depends 152.Pq Vt bool 153Various 154.Pa rc.d 155scripts use the force_depend function to check whether required 156services are already running, and to start them if necessary. 157By default during boot time this check is bypassed if the 158required service is enabled in 159.Pa /etc/rc.conf[.local] . 160Setting this option will bypass that check at boot time and 161always test whether or not the service is actually running. 162Enabling this option is likely to increase your boot time if 163services are enabled that utilize the force_depend check. 164.It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _chroot 165.Pq Vt str 166.Xr chroot 167to this directory before running the service. 168.It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _user 169.Pq Vt str 170Run the service under this user account. 171.It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _group 172.Pq Vt str 173Run the chrooted service under this system group.
