In new installations, the .Nm file is generally initialized by the system installation utility. .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/defaults/vendor.conf allows vendors to override .Fx defaults. The file .Pa /etc/rc.conf.local is used to override settings in .Pa /etc/rc.conf for historical reasons. .Pp The sysrc(8) command provides a scripting interface to modify system config files. .Pp 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 or .Ao Ar dir Ac Ns Pa /rc.conf.d directories (where .Ao Ar dir Ac is each entry specified in .Va local_startup , but with any trailing .Pa /rc.d stripped), 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. If .Va local_startup contains .Pa /usr/local/etc/rc.d and .Pa /opt/conf , .Pa /usr/local/etc/rc.conf.d/jail and .Pa /opt/conf/rc.conf.d/jail will be loaded. If .Ao Ar dir Ac Ns Pa /rc.conf.d/ Ns Ao Ar name Ac is a directory then all of the files in the directory will be loaded. See also the .Va rc_conf_files variable below. .Pp Options are set with .Dq Ar name Ns Li = Ns Ar value assignments that use .Xr sh 1 syntax. 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 rc_startmsgs .Pq Vt bool If set to .Dq Li YES , show .Dq Starting foo: when faststart is used (e.g., at boot time). .It Va early_late_divider .Pq Vt str The name of the script that should be used as the delimiter between the .Dq early and .Dq late stages of the boot process. The early stage should contain all the services needed to get the disks (local or remote) mounted so that the late stage can include scripts contained in the directories listed in the .Va local_startup variable (see below). Thus, the two likely candidates for this value are .Pa mountcritlocal for the typical system, and .Pa mountcritremote if the system needs remote file systems mounted to get access to the .Va local_startup directories; for example when .Pa /usr/local is NFS mounted. For .Pa rc.conf within a .Xr jail 8 .Pa NETWORKING is likely to be an appropriate value. Extreme care should be taken when changing this value, and before changing it one should ensure that there are adequate provisions to recover from a failed boot (such as physical contact with the machine, or reliable remote console access). .It Va always_force_depends .Pq Vt bool Various .Pa rc.d scripts use the force_depend function to check whether required services are already running, and to start them if necessary. By default during boot time this check is bypassed if the required service is enabled in .Pa /etc/rc.conf[.local] . Setting this option will bypass that check at boot time and always test whether or not the service is actually running. Enabling this option is likely to increase your boot time if services are enabled that utilize the force_depend check. .It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _chroot .Pq Vt str .Xr chroot 8 to this directory before running the service. .It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _cpuset .Pq Vt str A list of CPUs to run the service on. Passed to .Xr cpuset 1 using the .Fl l flag. .It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _fib .Pq Vt int The .Xr setfib 1 value to run the service under. .It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _group .Pq Vt str Run the chrooted service under this system group. Unlike the .Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _user setting, this setting has no effect if the service is not chrooted. .It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _limits .Pq Vt str Resource limits to apply to the service using .Xr limits 1 . By default, resource limits are based on the login class defined in .Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _login_class . .It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _login_class .Pq Vt str Login class to be used with .Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _limits . Defaults to .Dq Li daemon . .It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _nice .Pq Vt int The .Xr nice 1 value to run the service under. .It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _oomprotect .Pq Vt str Use .Xr protect 1 to prevent the service from being killed when swap space is exhausted. Use .Dq Li YES to protect only the service itself, and .Dq Li ALL to protect the service and all its child processes. .Pp Please note that rc scripts which redefine .Dl ${argument}_cmd .Pq see Xr rc.subr 8 such as PostgreSQL will not inherit the OOM killer protection. .Pp This variable has no effect on services running within a .Xr jail 8 . .It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _setup .Pq Vt str Run the specified setup script right before starting the actual service command. Useful for automatic configuration file generation. .It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _umask .Pq Vt int Run the service using this .Xr umask 1 value. .It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _user .Pq Vt str Run the service under this user account. .It Va apm_enable .Pq Vt bool If set to .Dq Li YES , enable support for Automatic Power Management with the .Xr apm 8 command. .It Va apmd_enable .Pq Vt bool Run .Xr apmd 8 to handle APM event from userland. This also enables support for APM. .It Va apmd_flags .Pq Vt str If .Va apmd_enable is set to .Dq Li YES , these are the flags to pass to the .Xr apmd 8 daemon. .It Va devd_enable .Pq Vt bool Run .Xr devd 8 to handle device added, removed or unknown events from the kernel. .It Va ddb_enable .Pq Vt bool Run .Xr ddb 8 to install .Xr ddb 4 scripts at boot time. .It Va ddb_config .Pq Vt str Configuration file for .Xr ddb 8 . Default .Pa /etc/ddb.conf . .It Va devmatch_enable .Pq Vt bool If set to .Dq Li NO , disable auto-loading of kernel modules with .Xr devmatch 8 . .It Va devmatch_blocklist .Pq Vt str A whitespace-separated list of kernel modules to be ignored by .Xr devmatch 8 . In addition, the .Xr kenv 1 .Va devmatch_blocklist is appended to this variable to allow disabling of .Xr devmatch 8 loaded modules from the boot loader. .It Va devmatch_blacklist .Pq Vt str This variable is deprecated. Use .Va devmatch_blocklist instead. A whitespace-separated list of kernel modules to be ignored by .Xr devmatch 8 . .It Va kld_list .Pq Vt str A whitespace-separated list of kernel modules to load right after the local disks are mounted, without any .Pa .ko extension or path. .It Va kldxref_enable .Pq Vt bool Set to .Dq Li NO by default. Set to .Dq Li YES to automatically rebuild .Pa linker.hints files with .Xr kldxref 8 at boot time. .It Va kldxref_clobber .Pq Vt bool Set to .Dq Li NO by default. If .Va kldxref_enable is true, setting to .Dq Li YES will overwrite existing .Pa linker.hints 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 are used. .It Va powerd_enable .Pq Vt bool If set to .Dq Li YES , enable the system power control facility with the .Xr powerd 8 daemon. .It Va powerd_flags .Pq Vt str If .Va powerd_enable is set to .Dq Li YES , these are the flags to pass to the .Xr powerd 8 daemon. .It Va tmpmfs Controls the creation of a .Pa /tmp memory 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 .Pa /tmp is not writable. .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 so that file system space is freed without delay after file truncation or deletion. 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. 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 .Pa /var is not writable. .It Va varsize Controls the size of a created .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.

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 .Pa /var is not writable. Note that this process requires access to certain commands in .Pa /usr before .Pa /usr is mounted on normal systems. .It Va cleanvar_enable .Pq Vt bool Clean the .Pa /var directory. .It Va var_run_enable .Pq Vt bool Set to "YES" to enable saving of the .Pa /var/run directory structure into an mtree file at shutdown and the reload of the .Pa /var/run directory structure at boot. .It Va var_run_autosave .Pq Vt bool In some cases it may be undesirable to save .Pa /var/run at shutdown. When set to "NO" .Pa /var/run is loaded at reboot but not saved at shutdown. Typically in this scenario .Ql service var_run save would be performed to save a copy of the .Pa /var/run directory structure once, to be reloaded during all subsequent reboots. .It Va var_run_mtree .Pq Vt str Where to save the .Pa /var/run mtree. The default location is .Pa /var/db/mtree/BSD.var-run.mtree . .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 hostapd_enable .Pq Vt bool Set to .Dq Li YES to start .Xr hostapd 8 at system boot time. .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. Within a .Xr jail 8 the hostname is generally already set and this variable may be absent. If this value remains unset when the system is done booting your console login will display the default hostname of .Dq Amnesiac . .It Va nisdomainname .Pq Vt str The NIS domain name of this host, or .Dq Li NO if NIS is not used. .It Va hostid_enable .Pq Vt bool If set to .Dq Li NO , disable the generation or saving of the .Pa hostid and .Pa machine-id files at system boot and shutdown. .It Va hostid_file .Pq Vt str Path to the .Pa hostid file, default .Pa /etc/hostid . .It Va hostid_uuidgen_flags .Pq Vt str Flags passed to .Xr uuidgen 1 when generating a software host UUID. This is used only if the system cannot determine a hardware UUID. Set to .Dq Li -r by default. .It Va machine_id_file .Pq Vt str Path to the .Pa machine-id file, default .Pa /etc/machine-id . .It Va dhclient_program .Pq Vt str Path to the DHCP client program, defaulting to .Pa /sbin/dhclient . .It Va dhclient_flags .Pq Vt str Additional flags to pass to the DHCP client program. See the .Xr dhclient 8 manpage for a description of the command line options available. .It Va dhclient_flags_ Ns Aq Ar iface Additional flags to pass to the DHCP client program running on .Ar iface only. When specified, this variable overrides .Va dhclient_flags . .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 background_dhclient_ Ns Aq Ar iface When specified, this variable overrides the .Va background_dhclient variable for interface .Ar iface only. .It Va dhclient_arpwait .Pq Vt bool Set to .Dq Li NO to stop .Xr dhclient 8 from waiting for ARP resolution, to make the system boot faster. This may be done on networks where the DHCP server is certain to know whether an address is available. .It Va synchronous_dhclient .Pq Vt bool Set to .Dq Li YES to start .Xr dhclient 8 synchronously at startup. This behavior can be overridden on a per-interface basis by replacing the .Dq Li DHCP keyword in the .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface variable with .Dq Li SYNCDHCP or .Dq Li NOSYNCDHCP . .It Va defaultroute_delay .Pq Vt int When set to a positive value, wait up to this long after configuring DHCP interfaces at startup to give the interfaces time to receive a lease. .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 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 firewall_type .Pq Vt str Names the firewall type from the selection in .Pa /etc/rc.firewall , or the file which contains the local firewall ruleset. Valid selections from .Pa /etc/rc.firewall are: .Pp .Bl -tag -width ".Li workstation" -compact .It Li open unrestricted IP access .It Li closed all IP services disabled, except via .Dq Li lo0 .It Li client basic protection for a workstation .It Li workstation basic protection for a workstation using stateful firewalling .It Li simple basic protection for a LAN. .El .Pp If a filename is specified, the full path must be given. .Pp Most of the predefined rulesets define additional configuration variables. These are documented in .Pa /etc/rc.firewall . .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 firewall_logging .Pq Vt bool Set to .Dq Li YES to enable firewall event logging. This is equivalent to the .Dv IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE kernel option. .It Va firewall_logif .Pq Vt bool Set to .Dq Li YES to create pseudo interface .Li ipfw0 for logging. For more details, see .Xr ipfw 8 manual page. .It Va firewall_flags .Pq Vt str Flags passed to .Xr ipfw 8 if .Va firewall_type specifies a filename. .It Va firewall_coscripts .Pq Vt str List of executables and/or rc scripts to run after firewall starts/stops.

This is the name of the public interface or IP address on which kernel NAT should run. .It Va firewall_nat_flags .Pq Vt str Additional configuration parameters for kernel NAT should be placed here. .It Va firewall_nat64_enable .Pq Vt bool Setting this to .Dq Li YES will automatically load the .Xr ipfw 8 NAT64 kernel module if .Va firewall_enable is also set to .Dq Li YES . .It Va firewall_nptv6_enable .Pq Vt bool Setting this to .Dq Li YES will automatically load the .Xr ipfw 8 NPTv6 kernel module if .Va firewall_enable is also set to .Dq Li YES . .It Va firewall_pmod_enable .Pq Vt bool Setting this to .Dq Li YES will automatically load the .Xr ipfw 8 pmod kernel module if .Va firewall_enable is also set to .Dq Li YES . .It Va dummynet_enable .Pq Vt bool Setting this to .Dq Li YES will automatically load the .Xr dummynet 4 module if .Va firewall_enable is also set to .Dq Li YES . .\" ------------------------------------------------------------------- .It Va ipfw_netflow_enable .Pq Vt bool Setting this to .Dq Li YES will enable netflow logging via .Xr ng_netflow 4 . .Pp By default a ipfw rule is inserted and all packets are duplicated with the ngtee command and netflow packets are sent to 127.0.0.1 on the netflow port using protocol version 5. .It Va ipfw_netflow_hook .Pq Vt int netflow hook name, must be numerical (default .Pa 9995 ) . .It Va ipfw_netflow_rule .Pq Vt int ipfw rule number (default .Pa 1000 ) . .It Va ipfw_netflow_ip .Pq Vt str Destination server ip for receiving netflow data (default .Pa 127.0.0.1 ) . .It Va ipfw_netflow_port .Pq Vt int Destination server port for receiving netflow data (default .Pa 9995 ) . .It Va ipfw_netflow_version .Pq Vt int Do not set for using version 5 of the netflow protocol, set it to 9 for using version 9. .It Va ipfw_netflow_fib .Pq Vt int Only match packet in FIB .Pa ipfw_netflow_fib (default is undefined meaning all FIBs). .It Va natd_program .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 .Xr ipf 8 (default .Pa /sbin/ipf ) . .\" ----- ipfilter_rules setting -------------------------------- .It Va ipfilter_rules .Pq Vt str Set to .Pa /etc/ipf.rules by default.

Setting this to .Dq Li YES enables .Xr pflogd 8 which logs packets 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 pflog_instances .Pq Vt str If logging to more than one .Xr pflog 4 interface is desired, .Va pflog_instances is set to the list of .Xr pflogd 8 instances that should be started at system boot time. If .Va pflog_instances is set, for each whitespace-separated .Ar element in the list, .Ao Ar element Ac Ns Va _dev and .Ao Ar element Ac Ns Va _logfile elements are assumed to exist. .Ao Ar element Ac Ns Va _dev must contain the .Xr pflog 4 interface to be watched by the named .Xr pflogd 8 instance. .Ao Ar element Ac Ns Va _logfile must contain the name of the logfile that will be used by the .Xr pflogd 8 instance. .It Va ftpproxy_enable .Pq Vt bool Set to .Dq Li NO by default. Setting this to .Dq Li YES enables .Xr ftp-proxy 8 which supports the .Xr pf 4 packet filter in translating ftp connections. .It Va ftpproxy_flags .Pq Vt str Empty by default. This variable contains additional flags passed to the .Xr ftp-proxy 8 program. .It Va ftpproxy_instances .Pq Vt str Empty by default. If multiple instances of .Xr ftp-proxy 8 are desired at boot time, .Va ftpproxy_instances should contain a whitespace-separated list of instance names. For each .Ar element in the list, a variable named .Ao Ar element Ac Ns Va _flags should be defined, containing the command-line flags to be passed to the .Xr ftp-proxy 8 instance. .It Va pfsync_enable .Pq Vt bool Set to .Dq Li NO by default. Setting this to .Dq Li YES enables exposing .Xr pf 4 state changes to other hosts over the network by means of .Xr pfsync 4 . The .Va pfsync_syncdev variable must also be set then. .It Va pfsync_syncdev .Pq Vt str Empty by default. This variable specifies the name of the network interface .Xr pfsync 4 should operate through. It must be set accordingly if .Va pfsync_enable is set to .Dq Li YES . .It Va pfsync_syncpeer .Pq Vt str Empty by default. This variable is optional. By default, state change messages are sent out on the synchronisation interface using IP multicast packets. The protocol is IP protocol 240, PFSYNC, and the multicast group used is 224.0.0.240. When a peer address is specified using the .Va pfsync_syncpeer option, the peer address is used as a destination for the pfsync traffic, and the traffic can then be protected using .Xr ipsec 4 . See the .Xr pfsync 4 manpage for more details about using .Xr ipsec 4 with .Xr pfsync 4 interfaces. .It Va pfsync_ifconfig .Pq Vt str Empty by default. This variable can contain additional options to be passed to the .Xr ifconfig 8 command used to set up .Xr pfsync 4 . .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. .It Va icmp_drop_redirect .Pq Vt bool Set to .Dq Li AUTO by default. This setting will be identical to .Dq Li YES , if a dynamic routing daemon is enabled, because redirect processing may cause performance issues for large routing tables. If no such service is enabled, this setting behaves like a .Dq Li NO . Setting to .Dq Li YES will cause the kernel to ignore ICMP REDIRECT packets. Setting to .Dq Li NO will cause the kernel to process 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 or .Dq Li AUTO (the default) for all current interfaces. Setting the .Va network_interfaces variable to anything other than the default is deprecated. Interfaces that the administrator wishes to store configuration for, but not start at boot should be configured with the .Dq Li NOAUTO keyword in their .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface variables as described below. .Pp An .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface variable is also assumed to exist for each value of .Ar interface . When an interface name contains any of the characters .Dq Li .-/+ they are translated to .Dq Li _ before lookup. The variable can contain arguments to .Xr ifconfig 8 , as well as special case-insensitive keywords described below. Such keywords are removed before passing the value to .Xr ifconfig 8 while the order of the other arguments is preserved. .Pp It is possible to add IP alias entries using .Xr ifconfig 8 syntax with the address family keyword such as .Li inet . Assuming that the interface in question was .Li em0 , it might look something like this: .Bd -literal ifconfig_em0_alias0="inet 127.0.0.253 netmask 0xffffffff" ifconfig_em0_alias1="inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff" .Ed .Pp It also possible to configure multiple IP addresses in Classless Inter-Domain Routing .Pq CIDR address notation, whose each address component can be a range like .Li inet 192.0.2.5-23/24 or .Li inet6 2001:db8:1-f::1/64 . This notation allows address and prefix length part only, not the other address modifiers. Note that the maximum number of the generated addresses from a range specification is limited to an integer value specified in .Va netif_ipexpand_max in .Nm because a small typo can unexpectedly generate a large number of addresses. The default value is .Li 2048 . It can be increased by adding the following line into .Nm : .Bd -literal netif_ipexpand_max="4096" .Ed .Pp In the case of .Li 192.0.2.5-23/24 , the address 192.0.2.5 will be configured with the netmask /24 and the addresses 192.0.2.6 to 192.0.2.23 with the non-conflicting netmask /32 as explained in the .Xr ifconfig 8 alias section. Note that this special netmask handling is only for .Li inet , not for the other address families such as .Li inet6 . .Pp With the interface in question being .Li em0 , an example could look like: .Bd -literal ifconfig_em0_alias2="inet 192.0.2.129/27" ifconfig_em0_alias3="inet 192.0.2.1-5/28" .Ed .Pp and so on. .Pp Note that deprecated .Va ipv4_addrs_ Ns Aq Ar interface variable was supported for IPv4 CIDR address notation. The .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _alias Ns Aq Ar n variable replaces it, though .Va ipv4_addrs_ Ns Aq Ar interface is still supported for backward compatibility. .Pp For each .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _alias Ns Aq Ar n entry with an address family keyword, 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_em0_alias0="inet 127.0.0.251 netmask 0xffffffff" ifconfig_em0_alias1="inet 127.0.0.252 netmask 0xffffffff" ifconfig_em0_alias2="inet 127.0.0.253 netmask 0xffffffff" ifconfig_em0_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 .Dq Li alias3 entry. Because of this difficult to manage behavior, there is .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _aliases variable, which has the same functionality as .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _alias Ns Aq Ar n and can have all of the entries in a variable like the following: .Bd -literal ifconfig_em0_aliases="\\ inet 127.0.0.251 netmask 0xffffffff \\ inet 127.0.0.252 netmask 0xffffffff \\ inet 127.0.0.253 netmask 0xffffffff \\ inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff" .Ed .Pp It also supports CIDR notation. .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 If a .Va vlans_ Ns Aq Ar interface variable is set, a .Xr vlan 4 interface will be created for each item in the list with the .Ar vlandev argument set to .Ar interface . If a vlan interface's name is a number, then that number is used as the vlan tag and the new vlan interface is named .Ar interface . Ns Ar tag . Otherwise, the vlan tag must be specified via a .Va vlan parameter in the .Va create_args_ Ns Aq Ar interface variable. .Pp To create a vlan device named .Li em0.101 on .Li em0 with the vlan tag 101 and the optional IPv4 address 192.0.2.1/24: .Bd -literal vlans_em0="101" ifconfig_em0_101="inet 192.0.2.1/24" .Ed .Pp To create a vlan device named .Li myvlan on .Li em0 with the vlan tag 102: .Bd -literal vlans_em0="myvlan" create_args_myvlan="vlan 102" .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 device as of .Fx 8.0 . 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 If the .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface contains the keyword .Dq Li NOAUTO then the interface will not be configured at boot or by .Pa /etc/pccard_ether when .Va network_interfaces is set to .Dq Li AUTO . .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 em0 device via DHCP, it is possible to use something like: .Bd -literal ifconfig_em0="DHCP" .Ed .Pp If you want to configure your wireless interface with .Xr wpa_supplicant 8 for use with WPA, EAP/LEAP or WEP, you need to add .Dq Li WPA to the .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface variable. .Pp On the other hand, if you want to configure your wireless interface with .Xr hostapd 8 , you need to add .Dq Li HOSTAP to the .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface variable. .Xr hostapd 8 will use the settings from .Pa /etc/hostapd- Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns .conf .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 configure an .Xr ath 4 wireless device in station mode with an address obtained via DHCP, using WPA authentication and 802.11b mode, it is possible to use something like: .Bd -literal wlans_ath0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP WPA mode 11b" .Ed .Pp In addition to the .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface form, a fallback variable .Va ifconfig_DEFAULT may be configured. It will be used for all interfaces with no .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface variable. .Pp It is also possible to rename an interface by doing: .Bd -literal ifconfig_em0_name="net0" ifconfig_net0="inet 192.0.2.1 netmask 0xffffff00" .Ed .It Va ipv6_enable .Pq Vt bool This variable is deprecated. Use .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6 and .Va ipv6_activate_all_interfaces if necessary. .Pp If the variable is .Dq Li YES , .Dq Li inet6 accept_rtadv is added to all of .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6 and the .Va ipv6_activate_all_interfaces is defined as .Dq Li YES . .It Va ipv6_prefer .Pq Vt bool This variable is deprecated. Use .Va ip6addrctl_policy instead. .Pp If the variable is .Dq Li YES , the default address selection policy table set by .Xr ip6addrctl 8 will be IPv6-preferred. .Pp If the variable is .Dq Li NO , the default address selection policy table set by .Xr ip6addrctl 8 will be IPv4-preferred. .It Va ipv6_activate_all_interfaces .Pq Vt bool This controls initial configuration on IPv6-capable interfaces with no corresponding .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6 variable. Note that it is not always necessary to set this variable to .Dq YES to use IPv6 functionality on .Fx . In most cases, just configuring .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6 variables works. .Pp If the variable is .Dq Li NO , all interfaces which do not have a corresponding .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6 variable will be marked as .Dq Li IFDISABLED at creation. This means that all IPv6 functionality on that interface is completely disabled to enforce a security policy. If the variable is set to .Dq YES , the flag will be cleared on all of the interfaces. .Pp In most cases, just defining an .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6 for an IPv6-capable interface should be sufficient. However, if an interface is added dynamically .Pq by some tunneling protocols such as PPP, for example , it is often difficult to define the variable in advance. In such a case, configuring the .Dq Li IFDISABLED flag can be disabled by setting this variable to .Dq YES . .Pp For more details of the .Dq Li IFDISABLED flag and keywords .Dq Li inet6 ifdisabled , see .Xr ifconfig 8 . .Pp Default is .Dq Li NO . .It Va ipv6_privacy .Pq Vt bool If the variable is .Dq Li YES privacy addresses will be generated for each IPv6 interface as described in RFC 4941. .It Va ipv6_network_interfaces .Pq Vt str This is the IPv6 equivalent of .Va network_interfaces . Normally manual configuration of this variable is not needed. .It Va ipv6_cpe_wanif .Pq Vt str If the variable is set to an interface name, the .Xr ifconfig 8 options .Dq inet6 -no_radr accept_rtadv will be added to the specified interface automatically before evaluating .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6 , and two .Xr sysctl 8 variables .Va net.inet6.ip6.rfc6204w3 and .Va net.inet6.ip6.no_radr will be set to 1. .Pp This means the specified interface will accept ICMPv6 Router Advertisement messages on that link and add the discovered routers into the Default Router List. While the other interfaces can still accept RA messages if the .Dq inet6 accept_rtadv option is specified, adding routes into the Default Router List will be disabled by .Dq inet6 no_radr option by default. See .Xr ifconfig 8 for more details. .Pp Note that ICMPv6 Router Advertisement messages will be accepted even when .Va net.inet6.ip6.forwarding is 1 .Pq packet forwarding is enabled when .Va net.inet6.ip6.rfc6204w3 is set to 1. .Pp Default is .Dq Li NO . .It Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _descr .Pq Vt str This assigns arbitrary description to an interface. The .Xr sysctl 8 variable .Va net.ifdescr_maxlen limits its length. This static setting may be overridden by commands started with dynamic interface configuration utilities like .Xr dhclient 8 hooks. The description can be seen with .Xr ifconfig 8 command and it may be exported with .Xr bsnmpd 1 daemon using its MIB-2 module. .It Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6 .Pq Vt str IPv6 functionality on an interface should be configured by .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6 , instead of setting ifconfig parameters in .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface . If this variable is empty, all IPv6 configurations on the specified interface by other variables such as .Va ipv6_prefix_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac will be ignored. .Pp Aliases should be set by .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _alias Ns Aq Ar n with .Dq Li inet6 keyword. For example: .Bd -literal ifconfig_em0_ipv6="inet6 2001:db8:1::1 prefixlen 64" ifconfig_em0_alias0="inet6 2001:db8:2::1 prefixlen 64" .Ed .Pp Interfaces that have an .Dq Li inet6 accept_rtadv keyword in .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6 setting will be automatically configured by SLAAC .Pq StateLess Address AutoConfiguration described in .Rs .%T "RFC 4862" .Re .Pp Note that a link-local address will be automatically configured in addition to the configured global-scope addresses because the IPv6 specifications require it on each link. The address is calculated from the MAC address by using an algorithm defined in .Rs .%T "RFC 4862" .%O "Section 5.3" .Re .Pp If only a link-local address is needed on the interface, the following configuration can be used: .Bd -literal ifconfig_em0_ipv6="inet6 auto_linklocal" .Ed .Pp A link-local address can also be configured manually. This is useful for the default router address of an IPv6 router so that it does not change when the network interface card is replaced. For example: .Bd -literal ifconfig_em0_ipv6="inet6 fe80::1 prefixlen 64" .Ed .It Va ipv6_prefix_ Ns Aq Ar interface .Pq Vt str If one or more prefixes are defined in .Va ipv6_prefix_ Ns Aq Ar interface addresses based on each prefix and the EUI-64 interface index will be configured on that interface. Note that this variable will be ignored when .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6 is empty. .Pp For example, the following configuration .Bd -literal ipv6_prefix_em0="2001:db8:1:0 2001:db8:2:0" .Ed .Pp is equivalent to the following: .Bd -literal ifconfig_em0_alias0="inet6 2001:db8:1:: eui64 prefixlen 64" ifconfig_em0_alias1="inet6 2001:db8:1:: prefixlen 64 anycast" ifconfig_em0_alias2="inet6 2001:db8:2:: eui64 prefixlen 64" ifconfig_em0_alias3="inet6 2001:db8:2:: prefixlen 64 anycast" .Ed .Pp These Subnet-Router anycast addresses will be added only when .Va ipv6_gateway_enable is YES. .It Va ipv6_default_interface .Pq Vt str If not set to .Dq Li NO , this is the default output interface for scoped addresses. This works only with ipv6_gateway_enable="NO". .It Va ip6addrctl_enable .Pq Vt bool This variable is to enable configuring default address selection policy table .Pq RFC 3484 . The table can be specified in another variable .Va ip6addrctl_policy . For .Va ip6addrctl_policy the following keywords can be specified: .Dq Li ipv4_prefer , .Dq Li ipv6_prefer , or .Dq Li AUTO . .Pp If .Dq Li ipv4_prefer or .Dq Li ipv6_prefer is specified, .Xr ip6addrctl 8 installs a pre-defined policy table described in Section 10.3 .Pq IPv4-preferred or 2.1 .Pq IPv6-preferred of RFC 3484. .Pp If .Dq Li AUTO is specified, it attempts to read a file .Pa /etc/ip6addrctl.conf first. If this file is found, .Xr ip6addrctl 8 reads and installs it. If not found, a policy is automatically set according to .Va ipv6_activate_all_interfaces variable; if the variable is set to .Dq Li YES the IPv6-preferred one is used. Otherwise IPv4-preferred. .Pp The default value of .Va ip6addrctl_enable and .Va ip6addrctl_policy are .Dq Li YES and .Dq Li AUTO , respectively. .It Va cloned_interfaces .Pq Vt str Set to the list of clonable network interfaces to create on this host. Further cloning arguments may be passed to the .Xr ifconfig 8 .Cm create command for each interface by setting the .Va create_args_ Ns Aq Ar interface variable. If an interface name is specified with .Dq :sticky keyword, the interface will not be destroyed even when .Pa rc.d/netif script is invoked with .Dq stop argument. This is useful when reconfiguring the interface without destroying it. Entries in .Va cloned_interfaces are automatically appended to .Va network_interfaces for configuration. .It Va cloned_interfaces_sticky .Pq Vt bool This variable is to globally enable functionality of .Dq :sticky keyword in .Va cloned_interfaces for all interfaces. The default value is .Dq NO . Even if this variable is specified to .Dq YES , .Dq :nosticky keyword can be used to override it on per interface basis. .It Va gif_interfaces 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 using 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. .Pp For example, configure two .Xr gif 4 interfaces with: .Bd -literal gif_interfaces="gif0 gif1" gifconfig_gif0="100.64.0.1 100.64.0.2" ifconfig_gif0="inet 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.252" gifconfig_gif1="inet6 2a00::1 2a01::1" ifconfig_gif1="inet 10.1.0.1 10.1.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.252" .Ed .It Va ppp_enable .Pq Vt bool If set to .Dq Li YES , run the .Xr ppp 8 daemon. .It Va ppp_profile .Pq Vt str The name of the profile to use from .Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf . Also used for per-profile overrides of .Va ppp_mode and .Va ppp_nat , and .Va ppp_ Ns Ao Ar profile Ac Ns _unit . When the profile name contains any of the characters .Dq Li .-/+ they are translated to .Dq Li _ for the proposes of the override variable names. .It Va ppp_mode .Pq Vt str Mode in which to run the .Xr ppp 8 daemon. .It Va ppp_ Ns Ao Ar profile Ac Ns _mode .Pq Vt str Overrides the global .Va ppp_mode for .Ar profile . Accepted modes are .Dq Li auto , .Dq Li ddial , .Dq Li direct and .Dq Li dedicated . See the manual for a full description. .It Va ppp_nat .Pq Vt bool If set to .Dq Li YES , enables network address translation. Used in conjunction with .Va gateway_enable allows hosts on private network addresses access to the Internet using this host as a network address translating router. Default is .Dq Li YES . .It Va ppp_ Ns Ao Ar profile Ac Ns _nat .Pq Vt str Overrides the global .Va ppp_nat for .Ar profile . .It Va ppp_ Ns Ao Ar profile Ac Ns _unit .Pq Vt int Set the unit number to be used for this profile. See the manual description of .Fl unit Ns Ar N for details. .It Va ppp_user .Pq Vt str The name of the user under which .Xr ppp 8 should be started. By default, .Xr ppp 8 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 zfs_enable .Pq Vt bool If set to .Dq Li YES , .Pa /etc/rc.d/zfs will attempt to automatically mount ZFS file systems and initialize ZFS volumes (ZVOLs). .It Va zpool_reguid .Pq Vt str A space-separated list of ZFS pool names for which new pool GUIDs should be assigned upon first boot. This is useful when using a ZFS pool copied from a template, such as a virtual machine image. .It Va zpool_upgrade .Pq Vt str A space-separated list of ZFS pool names for which the version should be upgraded upon first boot. This is useful when using a ZFS pool generated by the .Xr makefs 8 utility. .It Va gptboot_enable .Pq Vt bool If set to .Dq Li YES , .Pa /etc/rc.d/gptboot will log if the system successfully (or not) booted from a GPT partition, which had the .Ar bootonce attribute set using .Xr gpart 8 utility. .It Va gbde_autoattach_all .Pq Vt bool If set to .Dq Li YES , .Pa /etc/rc.d/gbde will attempt to automatically initialize the .bde devices specified in .Pa /etc/fstab . .It Va gbde_devices .Pq Vt str List the devices that the script should try to attach, or .Dq Li AUTO . .It Va gbde_lockdir .Pq Vt str The directory where the .Xr gbde 4 lockfiles are located. The default lockfile directory is .Pa /etc . .Pp The lockfile for each individual .Xr gbde 4 device can be overridden by setting the variable .Va gbde_lock_ Ns Aq Ar device , where .Ar device is the encrypted device without the .Dq Pa /dev/ and .Dq Pa .bde parts. .It Va gbde_attach_attempts .Pq Vt int Number of times to attempt attaching to a .Xr gbde 4 device, i.e., how many times the user is asked for the pass-phrase. Default is 3. .It Va geli_devices .Pq Vt str List of devices to automatically attach on boot. Note that .eli devices from .Pa /etc/fstab are automatically appended to this list. .It Va geli_groups .Pq Vt str List of groups containing devices to automatically attach on boot with the same keyfiles and passphrase. This must be accompanied with a corresponding .Va geli_ Ns Ao Ar group Ac Ns Va _devices variable. .It Va geli_tries .Pq Vt int Number of times user is asked for the pass-phrase. If empty, it will be taken from .Va kern.geom.eli.tries sysctl variable. .It Va geli_default_flags .Pq Vt str Default flags to use by .Xr geli 8 when configuring disk encryption. Flags can be configured for every device separately by defining the .Va geli_ Ns Ao Ar device Ac Ns Va _flags variable, and for every group separately by defining the .Va geli_ Ns Ao Ar group Ac Ns Va _flags variable. .It Va geli_autodetach .Pq Vt str Specifies if GELI devices should be marked for detach on last close after file systems are mounted. Default is .Dq Li YES . This can be changed for every device separately by defining the .Va geli_ Ns Ao Ar device Ac Ns Va _autodetach variable. .It Va root_rw_mount .Pq Vt bool Set to .Dq Li YES by default. After the file systems are checked at boot time, the root file system is remounted as read-write if this is set to .Dq Li YES . Diskless systems that mount their root file system from a read-only remote NFS share should set this to .Dq Li NO in their .Pa rc.conf . .It Va fsck_y_enable .Pq Vt bool If set to .Dq Li YES , .Xr fsck 8 will be run with the .Fl y flag if the initial preen of the file systems fails. .It Va background_fsck .Pq Vt bool If set to .Dq Li NO , the system will not attempt to run .Xr fsck 8 in the background where possible. .It Va background_fsck_delay .Pq Vt int The amount of time in seconds to sleep before starting a background .Xr fsck 8 . It defaults to sixty seconds to allow large applications such as the X server to start before disk I/O bandwidth is monopolized by .Xr fsck 8 . If set to a negative number, the background file system check will be delayed indefinitely to allow the administrator to run it at a more convenient time. For example it may be run from .Xr cron 8 by adding a line like .Pp .Dl "0 4 * * * root /etc/rc.d/bgfsck forcestart" .Pp to .Pa /etc/crontab . .It Va netfs_types .Pq Vt str List of file system types that are network-based. This list should generally not be modified by end users. Use .Va extra_netfs_types instead. .It Va extra_netfs_types .Pq Vt str If set to something other than .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 .Pq Ql \&: . Extending the default list in this way is only necessary when third party file system types are used. .It Va syslogd_enable .Pq Vt bool If set to .Dq Li YES , run the .Xr syslogd 8 daemon. .It Va syslogd_program .Pq Vt str Path to .Xr syslogd 8 (default .Pa /usr/sbin/syslogd ) . .It Va syslogd_flags .Pq Vt str If .Va syslogd_enable is set to .Dq Li YES , these are the flags to pass to .Xr syslogd 8 . .It Va inetd_enable .Pq Vt bool If set to .Dq Li YES , run the .Xr inetd 8 daemon. .It Va inetd_program .Pq Vt str Path to .Xr inetd 8 (default .Pa /usr/sbin/inetd ) . .It Va inetd_flags .Pq Vt str If .Va inetd_enable is set to .Dq Li YES , these are the flags to pass to .Xr inetd 8 . .It Va hastd_enable .Pq Vt bool If set to .Dq Li YES , run the .Xr hastd 8 daemon. .It Va hastd_program .Pq Vt str Path to .Xr hastd 8 (default .Pa /sbin/hastd ) . .It Va hastd_flags .Pq Vt str If .Va hastd_enable is set to .Dq Li YES , these are the flags to pass to .Xr hastd 8 . .It Va local_unbound_enable .Pq Vt bool If set to .Dq Li YES , run the .Xr unbound 8 daemon as a local caching DNS resolver. .It Va nscd_enable .Pq Vt bool Set to .Dq Li YES to start the .Xr nscd 8 caching daemon for the .Nm nsswitch subsystem. .It Va nscd_flags .Pq Vt str If .Va nscd_enable is set to .Dq Li YES , these flags are passed to .Xr nscd 8 . .It Va kdc_enable .Pq Vt bool Set to .Dq Li YES to start a Kerberos 5 authentication server at boot time. .It Va kdc_program .Pq Vt str If .Va kdc_enable is set to .Dq Li YES this is the path to Kerberos 5 Authentication Server. .It Va kdc_flags .Pq Vt str Empty by default.

Refer to the manual page for .Xr moused 8 for compatibility information. .Pp It should also be noted that while this is enabled, any other client of the mouse (such as an X server) should access the mouse through the virtual mouse device, .Pa /dev/sysmouse , and configure it as a .Dq Li sysmouse type mouse, since all mouse data is converted to this single canonical format when using .Xr moused 8 . If the client program does not support the .Dq Li sysmouse type, specify the .Dq Li mousesystems type. It is the second preferred type. .It Va moused_port .Pq Vt str If .Va moused_enable is set to .Dq Li YES , this is the actual port the mouse is on.

By setting .Va "moused_" Ns Ar XXX Ns Va "_flags" it is possible to set up a different set of default flags for each .Xr moused 8 instance. For example, you can use .Dq Li "-3" for the default .Va moused_flags to make your laptop's touchpad more comfortable to use, but an empty set of options for .Va moused_ums0_flags when your .Xr usb 4 mouse has three or more buttons. .It Va mousechar_start .Pq Vt int If set to .Dq Li NO , the default mouse cursor character range .Li 0xd0 Ns - Ns Li 0xd3 is used, otherwise the range start is set to .Ar value character, see .Xr vidcontrol 1 .
