Hey all,
Are there any supported formats for INCLUDES in /etc/rc.conf such that
I can drop default configs into /etc/rc.conf and then have files in a
certain directory (ala includerc) override them? Basically, I'd like
to do mass-updates of several dozen machines' configs normally found
in /etc/rc.conf, but then have per-machine configs (like hostnames)
elsewhere.
rc.conf is just a shell script so you can "include" a file like:
. /path/to/include
but make sure it exists on every host. It could easily be
. /etc/rc.conf.`hostname -s`
as long as you don't have a host called local :-)
There is also rc.conf.local where you could put machine specific and
leave rc.conf for your generic defaults. Not clear to me if
rc.conf.local is meant to last though as it is described as "historic".
