.Dt RC.CONF 5
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm rc.conf
.Nd system configuration information
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The file
.Nm
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
file is generally initialized by the system installation utility,
.Xr sysinstall 8 .
.Pp
The purpose of
.Nm
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
.Va rc_conf_files
variable below.
.Pp
The following list provides a name and short description for each
variable that can be set in the
.Nm
file:
.Bl -tag -width indent-two
.It Va rc_debug
.Pq Vt bool
If set to
.Dq Li YES ,
enable output of debug messages from rc scripts.
This variable can be helpful in diagnosing mistakes when
editing or integrating new scripts.
Beware that this produces copious output to the terminal and
.Xr syslog 3 .
.It Va rc_info
.Pq Vt bool
If set to
.Dq Li NO ,
disable informational messages from the rc scripts.
Informational messages are displayed when
a condition that is not serious enough to warrant a warning or
an error occurs.
.It Va swapfile
.Pq Vt str
If set to
.Dq Li NO ,
no swapfile is installed, otherwise the value is used as the full
pathname to a file to use for additional swap space.
.It Va apm_enable
.Pq Vt bool

files at boot time.
Otherwise,
only missing
.Pa linker.hints
files are generated.
.It Va kldxref_module_path
.Pq Vt str
Empty by default.
A semi-colon
.Pq Ql \&;
delimited list of paths containing
.Xr kld 4
modules.
If empty,
the contents of the
.Va kern.module_path
.Xr sysctl 8

.Va pccard_enable
is set to
.Dq Li YES ,
these are the flags to pass to the
.Xr pccardd 8
daemon.
.It Va pccard_ether_delay
.Pq Vt str
Set the delay before starting
.Xr dhclient 8
in the
.Pa /etc/pccard_ether

.Xr ed 4
based cards.
.It Va removable_interfaces
.Pq Vt str
List of removable network interfaces to be supported by
.Pa /etc/pccard_ether .
.It Va tmpmfs

.It Va tmpsize
Controls the size of a created
.Pa /tmp
memory file system.
.It Va tmpmfs_flags
Extra options passed to the
.Xr mdmfs 8
utility when the memory file system for
.Pa /tmp
is created.
The default is
.Dq Li -S ,
which inhibits the use of softupdates on
.Pa /tmp
to waste as little space as possible.
See
.Xr mdmfs 8
for other options you can use in
.Va tmpmfs_flags .
.It Va varmfs
Controls the creation of a
.Pa /var
memory file system.

.Pa /var
memory file system.
.It Va varmfs_flags
Extra options passed to the
.Xr mdmfs 8
utility when the memory file system for
.Pa /var
is created.
The default is
.Dq Li -S ,
which inhibits the use of softupdates on
.Pa /var
to waste as little space as possible.
See
.Xr mdmfs 8
for other options you can use in
.Va varmfs_flags .
.It Va populate_var
Controls the automatic population of the
.Pa /var
file system.
Always happens if set to
.Dq Li YES
and never happens if set to
.Dq Li NO .
If set to anything else, a memory file system is created if

Note that this process requires access to certain commands in
.Pa /usr
before
.Pa /usr
is mounted on normal systems.
.It Va local_startup
.Pq Vt str
List of directories to search for startup script files.
.It Va script_name_sep
.Pq Vt str
The field separator to use for breaking down the list of startup script files
into individual filenames.
The default is a space.
It is not necessary to change this unless there are startup scripts with names
containing spaces.
.It Va hostname
.Pq Vt str
The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of this host on the network.
This should almost certainly be set to something meaningful, even if
there is no network connection.
If
.Xr dhclient 8
is used to set the hostname via DHCP,
this variable should be set to an empty string.
.It Va ipv6_enable
.Pq Vt bool
Enable support for IPv6 networking.
Note that this requires that the kernel have been compiled with
.Cd "options INET6" .
.It Va nisdomainname
.Pq Vt str

Path to the DHCP client program
.Pa ( /sbin/dhclient ,
the ISC DHCP client,
is the default).
.It Va dhclient_flags
.Pq Vt str
Additional flags to pass to the DHCP client program.
For the ISC DHCP client, see the
.Xr dhclient 8
manpage for a description of the command line options available.
.It Va background_dhclient
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li YES
to start the dhcp client in background.
This can cause trouble with applications depending on
a working network, but it will provide a faster startup
in many cases.
.It Va firewall_enable
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li YES
to load firewall rules at startup.
If the kernel was not built with
.Cd "options IPFIREWALL" ,
the
.Pa ipfw.ko
kernel module will be loaded.
See also
.Va ipfilter_enable .
.It Va ipv6_firewall_enable
.Pq Vt bool
The IPv6 equivalent of
.Va firewall_enable .
Set to
.Dq Li YES
to load IPv6 firewall rules at startup.
If the kernel was not built with
.Cd "options IPV6FIREWALL" ,
the
.Pa ip6fw.ko
kernel module will be loaded.
.It Va firewall_script
.Pq Vt str
This variable specifies the full path to the firewall script to run.
The default is
.Pa /etc/rc.firewall .
.It Va ipv6_firewall_script
.Pq Vt str
The IPv6 equivalent of
.Va firewall_script .
.It Va firewall_type
.Pq Vt str
Names the firewall type from the selection in

.Pq Vt str
The IPv6 equivalent of
.Va firewall_type .
.It Va firewall_quiet
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li YES
to disable the display of firewall rules on the console during boot.
.It Va ipv6_firewall_quiet
.Pq Vt bool
The IPv6 equivalent of
.Va firewall_quiet .
.It Va firewall_logging
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li YES

.Pq Vt str
Path to
.Xr natd 8 .
.It Va natd_enable
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li YES
to enable
.Xr natd 8 .
.Va firewall_enable
must also be set to
.Dq Li YES ,
and
.Xr divert 4
sockets must be enabled in the kernel.
If the kernel was not built with
.Cd "options IPDIVERT" ,
the
.Pa ipdivert.ko
kernel module will be loaded.
.It Va natd_interface
.Pq Vt str
This is the name of the public interface on which
.Xr natd 8
should run.
The interface may be given as an interface name or as an IP address.
.It Va natd_flags
.Pq Vt str
Additional
.Xr natd 8
flags should be placed here.
The
.Fl n
or
.Fl a
flag is automatically added with the above
.Va natd_interface
as an argument.
.\" ----- ipfilter_enable setting --------------------------------
.It Va ipfilter_enable
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li NO
by default.
Setting this to
.Dq Li YES
enables
.Xr ipf 8
packet filtering.
.Pp
Typical usage will require putting
.Bd -literal
ipfilter_enable="YES"
ipnat_enable="YES"
ipmon_enable="YES"
ipfs_enable="YES"
.Ed
.Pp
into
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
and editing
.Pa /etc/ipf.rules
and
.Pa /etc/ipnat.rules
appropriately.
.Pp
Note that
.Va ipfilter_enable
and
.Va ipnat_enable
can be enabled independently.
.Va ipmon_enable
and
.Va ipfs_enable
both require at least one of
.Va ipfilter_enable
and
.Va ipnat_enable
to be enabled.
.Pp
Having
.Bd -literal
options IPFILTER
options IPFILTER_LOG
options IPFILTER_DEFAULT_BLOCK
.Ed
.Pp
in the kernel configuration file is a good idea, too.
.\" ----- ipfilter_program setting ------------------------------
.It Va ipfilter_program
.Pq Vt str
Path to

.It Va pf_enable
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li NO
by default.
Setting this to
.Dq Li YES
enables
.Xr pf 4
packet filtering.
.Pp
Typical usage will require putting
.Pp
.Dl pf_enable="YES"
.Pp
into
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
and editing
.Pa /etc/pf.conf
appropriately.
.Pp
.Dl "device pf"
.Pp
builds
.Xr pf 4
into the kernel.
Otherwise it is loaded from a module.
.It Va pf_rules
.Pq Vt str
Path to
.Xr pf 4
ruleset configuration file
(default
.Pa /etc/pf.conf ) .
.It Va pf_program
.Pq Vt str
Path to
.Xr pfctl 8
(default
.Pa /sbin/pfctl ) .
.It Va pf_flags
.Pq Vt str
If

is set to
.Dq Li YES ,
these flags are passed to the
.Xr pfctl 8
program when loading the ruleset.
.It Va pflog_enable
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li NO
by default.
Setting this to
.Dq Li YES
enables
.Xr pflogd 8
which logs packtes from the
.Xr pf 4
packet filter.
.It Va pflog_logfile
.Pq Vt str
If
.Va pflog_enable
is set to
.Dq Li YES
this controls where
.Xr pflogd 8
stores the logfile
(default
.Pa /var/log/pflog ) .
Check
.Pa /etc/newsyslog.conf
to adjust logfile rotation for this.
.It Va pflog_program
.Pq Vt str
Path to
.Xr pflogd 8
(default
.Pa /sbin/pflogd ) .
.It Va pflog_flags
.Pq Vt str
Empty by default.
This variable contains additional flags passed to the
.Xr pflogd 8
program.
.It Va tcp_extensions
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li YES
by default.
Setting this to
.Dq Li NO
disables certain TCP options as described by
.Rs
.%T "RFC 1323"
.Re
Setting this to
.Dq Li NO
might help remedy such problems with connections as randomly hanging
or other weird behavior.
Some network devices are known
to be broken with respect to these options.
.It Va log_in_vain
.Pq Vt int
Set to 0 by default.
The
.Xr sysctl 8
variables,
.Va net.inet.tcp.log_in_vain
and
.Va net.inet.udp.log_in_vain ,
as described in
.Xr tcp 4
and
.Xr udp 4 ,
are set to the given value.
.It Va tcp_keepalive
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li YES
by default.
Setting to
.Dq Li NO
will disable probing idle TCP connections to verify that the
peer is still up and reachable.
.It Va tcp_drop_synfin
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li NO
by default.
Setting to
.Dq Li 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
.Dv TCP_DROP_SYNFIN
option.
.It Va icmp_drop_redirect
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li NO
by default.
Setting to
.Dq Li YES
will cause the kernel to ignore ICMP REDIRECT packets.
Refer to
.Xr icmp 4
for more information.
.It Va icmp_log_redirect
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li NO
by default.
Setting to
.Dq Li YES
will cause the kernel to log ICMP REDIRECT packets.
Note that
the log messages are not rate-limited, so this option should only be used
for troubleshooting networks.
Refer to
.Xr icmp 4
for more information.
.It Va icmp_bmcastecho
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li YES
to respond to broadcast or multicast ICMP ping packets.
Refer to
.Xr icmp 4
for more information.
.It Va ip_portrange_first
.Pq Vt int
If not set to
.Dq Li NO ,
this is the first port in the default portrange.
Refer to
.Xr ip 4
for more information.
.It Va ip_portrange_last
.Pq Vt int
If not set to
.Dq Li NO ,
this is the last port in the default portrange.
Refer to
.Xr ip 4
for more information.
.It Va network_interfaces
.Pq Vt str
Set to the list of network interfaces to configure on this host.
For example, if the only network devices in the system are the loopback
device
.Pq Li lo0
and a NIC using the
.Xr ed 4
driver,
this could be set to
.Dq Li "lo0 ed0" .
An
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable is also assumed to exist for each value of
.Ar interface .
It is also possible to add IP alias entries here in cases where
multiple IP addresses registered against a single interface
are desired.
Assuming that the interface in question was
.Li 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
.Pp
And so on.
For each
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _alias Ns Aq Ar n
entry that is found,
its contents are passed to
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
Execution stops at the first unsuccessful access, so if
something like this is present:
.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
.Pp
Then note that alias4 would
.Em not
be added since the search would
stop with the missing alias3 entry.
.Pp
If the
.Pa /etc/start_if. Ns Aq Ar interface
file is present, it is read and executed by the
.Xr sh 1
interpreter
before configuring the interface as specified in the
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
and
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _alias Ns Aq Ar n
variables.
.Pp
It is possible to bring up an interface with DHCP by setting the
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable to
.Dq Li DHCP .
For instance, to initialize the
.Li ed0
device via DHCP,
it is possible to use something like:
.Bd -literal
ifconfig_ed0="DHCP"
.Ed
.Pp
It is also possible to rename interface by doing:
.Bd -literal
ifconfig_ed0_name="net0"
ifconfig_net0="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffff0000"
.Ed
.It Va ipv6_network_interfaces
.Pq Vt str
This is the IPv6 equivalent of
.Va network_interfaces .
Instead of setting the ifconfig variables as
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
they should be set as
.Va ipv6_ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface .
Aliases should be set as
.Va ipv6_ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _alias Ns Aq Ar n .
.Va ipv6_prefix_ Ns Aq Ar interface
does something.
Interfaces that do not have a
.Va ipv6_ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
setting will be auto configured by
.Xr rtsol 8
if the
.Va ipv6_gateway_enable
is set to
.Dq Li NO .
Note that the IPv6 networking code does not support the
.Pa /etc/start_if. Ns Aq Ar interface
files.
.It Va ipv6_default_interface
.Pq Vt str
If not set to
.Dq Li NO ,
this is the default output interface for scoped addresses.
Now this works only for IPv6 link local multicast addresses.
.It Va cloned_interfaces
.Pq Vt str
Set to the list of clonable network interfaces to create on this host.
Entries in
.Va cloned_interfaces
are automatically appended to
.Va network_interfaces
for configuration.
.It Va gif_interfaces
.Pq Vt str
Set to the list of
.Xr gif 4
tunnel interfaces to configure on this host.
A
.Va gifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable is assumed to exist for each value of
.Ar interface .
The value of this variable is used to configure the link layer of the
tunnel according to the syntax of the
.Cm tunnel
