Slight deviation: I tend to group settings according to their functionality (network, server stuff, console settings etc.), and also have local additions at the end of the file. However, FreeBSD also supports rc.conf.local to keep them. The rc.conf file can be seen as a shell script, containing variable assignments. It is that simple. It implies that you can arrange everything (with newlines, comments, in groups, as you wish) as long as it is valid shell syntax. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Normally it works they way you thought it did - this is special case. Mostly "*_enable" variables are defaulted to NO, but those five scripts set their default from gnome_enable, which in turn is defaulted to NO. By setting gnome_enable="YES" you can start all the daemons that Gnome needs without having to know which they are, and without having to keep track of them as Gnome is upgraded.

Thank you. This command returns nothing, but it got me looking in the right
place.
There are multiple references to gnome_enable within files in this directory:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/
The references appear like so:
grep gnome /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*
hald:. /usr/local/etc/gnome.subr
hald:hald_enable=${hald_enable-${gnome_enable}}

It is read up by the various scripts in etc/rc.d and /usr/local/etc/rc.d to get values for constants that are defined there. Some of those constants are things like linux_enable="YES" or lpd_enable="YES" or hostname="fred.cheeze.org" and many other possible things. the /etc/rc.conf files does nothing active. It just sets there like a bunch of passive data waiting to be looked at. The rc system goes through the rc.d directories and, according to its rules checks the script files in those directories and executes those scripts that merit execution in an order determined by its protocol. It used to be strictly alphabetical, but is more sophisticated now. See man rc and man rcorder. The scripts read up /etc/rc.conf and check for constants that interest them, such as one to enable or run something. If the file name ends in 'd', the convention is that it is a daemon. But other things could be run to check stuff or set up some files, or whatever. Besides telling a script to run or exit without doing anything, the constants also set conditions for things, such as that hostname setting. But, it is up to the scripts - most or all in one of the rc.d directories - to do anything about what is in /etc/rc.conf. Just putting something in the rc.conf file does nothing. One or more of the scripts are what looks for the stuff you put in rc.conf and does/do all the work. The scripts in the rc.d directories have to have execute permission. There is a protocol set up for them to determine at which point in the boot process they run (most can also be run manually after the system is up, though doing them out of order can produce unpleasant results in some cases). So, put your script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Include the appropriate protocol in the script (see man rc.d, man rc.conf and other related man pages) and make sure it reads /etc/rc.conf if it needs constants set or needs to decide whether or not to start something. jerry > > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I'm not sure if this is valid anymore, but I think it's also
neccessary that a *.sh script is chmod +x, or it won't be
executed at startup. These scripts are located in /usr/local/etc.
The rc-style scripts ("foo { start | stop | restart | status }")
are located in the rc.d/ subdirectory, just like in /etc. They
usually have a corresponging enable setting ("foo_enable") in
/etc/rc.conf or /etc/rc.conf.local (see "man rc.conf"), as well
as means to set parameters ("foo_flags" or something specific).

It is probably not in your limited path in single user or not
in a mounted partition.
You may have to mount the partition containing 'vi', probably /usr.
While in single user, do:
fsck -p
mount -u /
mount -a
swapon -a
Then you should be able to use vi as:
/usr/bin/vi /etc/rc.conf
using the full path for vi skips over putting it in your path.
Make your fix and reboot.

You can mount /usr (assuming that's not related to whatever you're trying to
fix) by typing "mount /usr". You'll also need to mount / read/write before
you can modify rc.conf so I usually just do "mount -a". "mount /" will
re-mount / with the default r/w settings.
If you do have a problem with /usr, there are statically linked versions of
both system default editors in /rescue. So you could also
do "/rescue/ee /etc/rc.conf", for example.

It doesn't make sense, because rc.conf is not "loaded" after a system has brought itself up. It only serves as a useful collection of options and is parsed (mostly) at startup time by some of the startup scripts. If you have some specific changes to rc.conf in mind that you need to apply without a reboot, it's usually possible. We'd have to know what the exact changes were though, before any meaningful response could be written. - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

What you probably want is to apply some change in the settings of rc.conf. This can usually be done by restarting just the affected components. There *are* a few changes of rc.conf that may ultimately affect too many components and/or services of the running system that a plain reboot may be the best option you have, but you would have to give us more details about the changes you made before we tell you what's the best thing to do. What is it exactly that you changed in rc.conf? > How does one do that? > > /etc/netstart restarts the network but /etc/rc.conf does nothing. True. The rc.conf file doesn't "do" anything. It merely contains options and flags for other startup scripts. Depending on your FreeBSD version, the scripts that are affected by rc.conf's contents are either the /etc/rc.* files (for versions released before FreeBSD 5.3) or /etc/rc.d/* (for 5.3 and newer releases). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

There was a long discussion about that on the freebsd-currrent mailing list the last days. Several people complained about it and several others will try to fix the problem.

Re: rc.conf
Hi,
It depends on what parameters you have changed in rc.conf.
For example if you have changed the hostname then go to the /etc directory
grep "hostname" *
You will find the search resulting in a shell script file. Here it is
rc.network: hostname ${hostname}
Then just run that shell script.
Cheers

Re: rc.conf
Tiago Andre wrote: How do i "compile" my rc.conf file? whidout restar the pc You can't. The settings in rc.conf affect a number of different startup scripts. I don't know of any way to reliably incorporate all rc.conf changes into a running system. On the flip side, if you know what you changed, you can manually alter the running system. For example: if you change your IP address in rc.conf, you can change the running system with ifconfig. If you change your default gateway, you can change your running system with the route command. I can't think of any rc.conf setting that you can't change manually without a reboot, but it's going to depend on the setting as to what you need to do. If you mail the list with the exact change(s) you want to make, I'm sure people will help. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
RE: rc.conf
you could use the script netstart that resides in /etc.. but from my experience, it doesnt work too well... another soloution is to "sthutdown now" and then "exit".. .f -Original Message- From: Tiago Andre [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 21, 2003 12:09 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: rc.conf How do i "compile" my rc.conf file? whidout restar the pc thanks _ MSN Oscar: tem um palpite de quem vai ganhar? http://www.msn.com.br/oscar/enquete/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
Re: rc.conf syntax for ip alias on external nic
All aliases on the same subnet need to use a netmask of 255.255.255.255, as described in the ifconfig man page. This is what you should be doing: ifconfig_xl0="inet 129.x.x.35 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_xl0_alias0="inet 129.x.x.6 netmask 255.255.255.255" ifconfig_xl0_alias1="inet 129.x.x.5 netmask 255.255.255.255" Matt - Original Message - From: "Redmond Militante" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, February 10, 2003 12:13 PM Subject: rc.conf syntax for ip alias on external nic hi i have the following lines in my rc.conf, and i was wondering if my syntax was ok: --- #here, i'm setting the ip/subnet mask for outside nic interface for a dual homed gateway box ifconfig_xl0="inet 129.x.x.35 netmask 255.255.255.0" #declaring three network interfaces - outside nic interface for gateway, internal interface for private subnet, and loopback network_interfaces="xl0 xl1 lo0" #not sure about the following lines: trying to alias two public ip's to the outside nic interface for the gateway. the gateway will use ipnat to nat these public ip's to two internal client machines hooked up to the internal interface - xl1- of the gateway box ifconfig_xl0_alias0="inet 129.x.x.6 netmask 255.0.0.0" ifconfig_xl0_alias1="inet 129.x.x.5 netmask 255.0.0.0" #inside nic of gateway box ifconfig_xl1="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.0.0.0" --- i'm having trouble i think with the two aliases to the outside nic of the gateway. it works fine when i have only one client hooked up to the gateway, but when i have both clients hooked up to the gateway through a hub, i have problems - mainly, i reboot both machines, and one machine usually freezes on reboot. any advice would be really appreciated thanks redmond To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
Re: rc.conf
Try to look in /etc/defaults/rc.conf variables that can be in /etc/rc.conf for ex. if you need some tunnings about firewall - do something like this: grep -i fire /etc/defaults/rc.conf >> /etc/rc.conf Thomas Spreng wrote: Hi, On Tue, Dec 17, 2002 at 01:32:03PM +, Tiago Andre wrote: >How do i compile my rc.conf you dont need to, its read on each startup... >Thanks >Tiago Camilo > To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- Best regards, Aleksey I.
