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. 65In addition to 66.Pa /etc/rc.conf.local 67you can also place smaller configuration files for each 68.Xr rc 8 69script in the 70.Pa /etc/rc.conf.d 71directory, which will be included by the 72.Va load_rc_config 73function. 74For jail configurations you could use the file 75.Pa /etc/rc.conf.d/jail 76to store jail specific configuration options. 77Also see the 78.Va rc_conf_files 79variable below. 80.Pp 81The following list provides a name and short description for each 82variable that can be set in the 83.Nm 84file. 85To set a variable of 86.Vt bool 87type, specify either 88.Dq Li YES , 89.Dq Li TRUE , 90.Dq Li ON , 91or 92.Dq Li 1 . 93To unset, specify 94.Dq Li NO , 95.Dq Li FALSE , 96.Dq Li OFF , 97or 98.Dq Li 0 . 99These values are case insensitive. 100The 101.Va _enable 102postfix in the name of a variable for starting a service

pccard_ether_delay 251.Pq Vt str 252Set the delay before starting 253.Xr dhclient 8 254in the 255.Pa /etc/pccard_ether 256script. 257This defaults to 5 seconds to work around a bug in the 258.Xr ed 4
