.Dt RC.CONF 5
.Os FreeBSD 2.2.2
.Sh NAME
.Nm rc.conf
.Nd system configuration information.
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The file
.Nm rc.conf
contains descriptive information about the local host name, configuration
details for any potential network interfaces and which services should be
started up at system initial boot time. In new installations, the
.Nm rc.conf
file is generally initialized by the system installation utility:
.Pa /stand/sysinstall .
.Pp
The purpose of
.Nm rc.conf
is not to run commands or perform system startup actions
directly. Instead, it is included by the
various generic startup scripts in
.Pa /etc
which conditionalize their
internal actions according to the settings found there.
.Pp
The
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
file is included from the file
.Pa /etc/defaults/rc.conf ,
which specifies the default settings for all the available options. Options
need only be specified in
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
when the system administrator wishes to override these defaults. The file
.Pa /etc/rc.conf.local
is used to override settings in
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
for historical reasons. See the
.Dq rc_conf_files
option below.
.Pp
The following list provides a name and short description for each
variable you can set in the
.Nm
file:
.Bl -tag -width Ar

(str) If set to

They will be executed with -locale option for each of these locales.
.It Ar hostname
(str) The Fully Qualified Domain Name of your host on the network.
This should almost certainly be set to something meaningful, even if
you are not connected to a network. If you are using

(str) The NIS domainname of your host, or

if you are not running NIS.

.Pa /etc/rc.firewall ,
or the file which contains the local firewall ruleset. Valid selections
from
.Pa /etc/rc.firewall ,

except via lo0; ``client'' - basic protection for a workstation; ``simple'' -
basic protection for a LAN. If a filename is specified, the full path
must be given.

sockets must be enabled in your kernel.

or

flag is automatically added with the above
.Ar natd_interface
as an argument.
.It Ar tcp_extensions
(bool) Set to
.Ar NO
by default. Setting this to YES enables certain TCP options as described by
Internet RFCs 1323 and 1644. If you have problems with connections
randomly hanging or other weird behavior of such nature, you might
try setting this back to
.Ar NO
and seeing if that helps. Some hardware/software out there is known
to be broken with respect to these options.
.It Ar log_in_vain
(bool) Set to
.Ar NO
by default.
Setting to YES will enable logging of connection attempts to ports that
have no listening socket on them.

by default.
Setting to NO will disable probing idle TCP connections to verify that the
peer is still up and reachable.
.It Ar tcp_drop_synfin
(bool) Set to
.Ar NO
by default.
Setting to YES will cause the kernel to ignore TCP frames that have both
the SYN and FIN flags set. This prevents OS fingerprinting, but may
break some legitimate applications. This option is only available if the
kernel was built with the TCP_DROP_SYNFIN option.
.It Ar tcp_restrict_rst
(bool) Set to
.Ar NO
by default.
Setting to YES will cause the kernel to refrain from emitting TCP RST frames
in response to invalid TCP packets (e.g. frames destined for closed ports).
This option is only available if the kernel was built with the

.It Ar icmp_drop_redirect
(bool) Set to
.Ar NO
by default.
Setting to YES will cause the kernel to ignore ICMP REDIRECT packets.
.It Ar icmp_log_redirect
(bool) Set to

by default.
Setting to YES will cause the kernel to log ICMP REDIRECT packets. Not that
the log messages are not rate-limited, so this option should only be used
for troubleshooting your own network.
.It Ar network_interfaces
(str) Set to the list of network interfaces to configure on this host.
For example, if you had a loopback device (standard) and an SMC Elite
Ultra NIC, you might have this set to
.Qq Ar "lo0 ed0"
for the two interfaces. An
.No ifconfig_ Ns Em interface
variable is also assumed to exist for each value of
.Em interface .
It is also possible to add IP alias entries here in cases where you
want a single interface to have multiple IP addresses registered against
it.
Assuming that the interface in question was ed0, it might look
something like this:
.Bd -literal
ifconfig_ed0_alias0="inet 127.0.0.253 netmask 0xffffffff"
ifconfig_ed0_alias1="inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff"
.Ed
And so on. For each ifconfig_<interface>_alias<n> entry that is
found, its contents are passed to
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
Execution stops at the first unsuccessful access, so if you
had something like:
.Bd -literal
ifconfig_ed0_alias0="inet 127.0.0.251 netmask 0xffffffff"
ifconfig_ed0_alias1="inet 127.0.0.252 netmask 0xffffffff"
ifconfig_ed0_alias2="inet 127.0.0.253 netmask 0xffffffff"
ifconfig_ed0_alias4="inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff"
.Ed
Then note that alias4 would \fBnot\fR be added since the search would
stop with the missing alias3 entry.
