descriptive information about the local host name, configuration 37details for any potential network interfaces and which services should be 38started up at system initial boot time. 39In new installations, the 40.Nm 41file is generally initialized by the installer. 42.Pp 43The purpose of 44.Nm 45is not to run commands or perform system startup actions directly. 46Instead, it is included by the various generic startup scripts in 47.Pa /etc 48which conditionalize their 49internal actions according to the settings found there. 50.Pp 51The 52.Pa /etc/defaults/rc.conf 53file specifies the default settings for all the available options, 54the 55.Pa /etc/rc.conf 56file specifies override settings. 57Options need only be specified in 58.Pa /etc/rc.conf 59when the system administrator wishes to override the defaults. 60The file 61.Pa /etc/rc.conf.local 62is used to override settings in 63.Pa /etc/rc.conf 64for historical reasons. 65See the 66.Va rc_conf_files 67variable below. 68.Pp 69The following list provides a name and short description for each 70variable that can be set in the 71.Nm 72file. 73To set a variable of 74.Vt bool 75type, specify either 76.Dq Li YES , 77.Dq
