.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 installer.
.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/defaults/rc.conf
file specifies the default settings for all the available options,
the
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
file specifies override settings.
Options need only be specified in
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
when the system administrator wishes to override the defaults.
The file
.Pa /etc/rc.conf.local
is used to override settings in
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
for historical reasons.
In addition to
.Pa /etc/rc.conf.local
you can also place smaller configuration files for each
.Xr rc 8
script in the
.Pa /etc/rc.conf.d
directory, which will be included by the
.Va load_rc_config
function.
For jail configurations you could use the file
.Pa /etc/rc.conf.d/jail
to store jail specific configuration options.
Also 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.

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

.\"
.It Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
.Pq Vt str
Configuration for
.Dq interface .
Typically includes IP address.
Assuming that the interface in question was
.Li ed0 ,
it might look something like this:
.Bd -literal
ifconfig_ed0="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffff0000"
.Ed
.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 adding
.Dq Li DHCP
to the
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable.
For instance, to initialize the
.Li ed0
device via DHCP, it is possible to use something like:
.Bd -literal
ifconfig_ed0="DHCP"
.Ed
.Pp
If a
.Va wlans_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable is set,
an
.Xr wlan 4
interface will be created for each item in the list with the
.Ar wlandev
argument set to
.Ar interface .
Further wlan cloning arguments may be passed to the
.Xr ifconfig 8
.Cm create
command by setting the
.Va create_args_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable.
One or more
.Xr wlan 4
devices must be created for each wireless devices as of
.Dx 2.5 .
Debugging flags for
.Xr wlan 4
devices as set by
.Xr wlandebug 8
may be specified with an
.Va wlandebug_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable.
The contents of this variable will be passed directly to
.Xr wlandebug 8 .
.Pp
Also, if your interface needs WPA authentication, it is possible to add
.Dq Li WPA
to the
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable.
This will start
.Xr wpa_supplicant 8 .
See
.Xr wpa_supplicant.conf 5
for configuring authentication information.
.Pp
Finally, you can add
.Xr ifconfig 8
options in this variable, in addition to the
.Pa /etc/start_if. Ns Aq Ar interface
file.
For instance, to initialize the
.Li wi0
device via DHCP, using WPA authentication and 802.11b mode, it is
possible to use something like:
.Bd -literal
wlans_wi0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="up DHCP WPA mode 11b"
.Ed
.It Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _alias Ns Aq Ar n
.Pq Vt str
Configuration to establish an additional network address for
.Dq interface .
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.
.It Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _name
.Pq Vt str
New name for
.Dq interface .
It is possible to rename interface by doing:
.Bd -literal
ifconfig_ed0_name="net0"
ifconfig_net0="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffff0000"
.Ed
.It Va network_interfaces
.Pq Vt str
The list of network interfaces to configure on this host,
or
.Dq Li auto
to configure all network interfaces
(default
.Dq Li auto ) .
For example, if the only network devices to be configured 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 assumed to exist for each value of
.Ar interface .
.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 .
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_prefix_ Ns Aq Ar interface
.Pq Vt str
Assign prefix to
.Ar interface ,
prefixlen 64 is used.
.It Va ipv6_default_interface

.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
option to
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
Additionally, this option ensures that each listed interface is created via the
.Cm create
option to
.Xr ifconfig 8
before attempting to configure it.
.It Va sppp_interfaces
.Pq Vt str
Set to the list of
.Xr sppp 4
interfaces to configure on this host.
A
.Va spppconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable is assumed to exist for each value of

is started as
.Dq Li root .
.It Va rc_conf_files
.Pq Vt str
This option is used to specify a list of files that will override
the settings in
.Pa /etc/defaults/rc.conf .
The files will be read in the order in which they are specified and should
include the full path to the file.
By default, the files specified are
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
and
.Pa /etc/rc.conf.local
.It Va fsck_y_enable
.Pq Vt bool

.Dq Li NO
(the default), this variable extends the list of file system types
for which automatic mounting at startup by
.Xr rc 8
should be delayed until the network is initialized.
It should contain
a whitespace-separated list of network file system descriptor pairs,
each consisting of a file system type as passed to
.Xr mount 8
and a human-readable, one-word description, joined with a colon
