Introduction
/etc/rc.conf
The global OpenRC configuration file.
Description
The file 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 rc.conf file is generally initialized by the system installation utility.
The purpose of rc.conf is not to run commands or perform system startup actions directly. Instead, it is included by the various generic startup scripts in /etc which conditionalize their internal actions according to the settings found there.
The /etc/rc.conf file is included from the file /etc/defaults/rc.conf, which specifies the default settings for all the available options. Options need only be specified in /etc/rc.conf when the system administrator wishes to override these defaults. The file /etc/rc.conf.local is used to override settings in /etc/rc.conf for historical reasons.
The sysrc(8) command provides a scripting interface to modify system config files.
In addition to /etc/rc.conf.local you can also place smaller configuration files for each rc(8) script in the /etc/rc.conf.d directory.
Example
The command cat /etc/rc.conf will show you somthing like this:
| Name | Description |
