rc.conf
—
system startup configuration file
The rc.conf
file specifies which services are enabled
during system startup by the startup scripts invoked by
/etc/rc (see
rc(8)), and the shutdown scripts
invoked by /etc/rc.shutdown. The
rc.conf
file is a shell script that is sourced by
rc(8), meaning that
rc.conf
must contain valid shell commands.
Listed below are the standard rc.conf
variables that may be set, the values to which each may be set, a brief
description of what each variable does, and a reference to relevant manual
pages. Third party packages may test for additional variables.
By default, rc.conf
reads
/etc/defaults/rc.conf (if it is readable) to obtain
default values for various variables, and the end-user may override these by
appending appropriate entries to the end of
rc.conf
.
rc.d(8) scripts that
use load_rc_config
from
rc.subr(8) also support
sourcing an optional end-user provided per-script override file
/etc/rc.conf.d/service, (where
service is the contents of the name
variable in the rc.d(8) script).
This may contain variable overrides, including allowing the end-user to
override various run_rc_command
rc.d(8) control variables, and
thus changing the operation of the script without requiring editing of the
script.
Most variables are one of two types: enabling variables or flags variables.
Enabling variables, such as inetd, are generally named after
the program or the system they enable, and have boolean values (specified
using ‘YES
’,
‘TRUE
’,
‘ON
’ or
‘1
’ for true, and
‘NO
’,
‘FALSE
’,
‘OFF
’ or
‘0
’ for false, with the values being
case insensitive). Flags variables, such as inetd_flags have
the same name with “_flags” appended, and determine what
arguments are passed to the program if it is enabled.
If a variable that rc(8)
expects to be set is not set, or the value is not one of the allowed values,
a warning will be printed.
- do_rcshutdown
- Boolean value. If false,
shutdown(8) will not run
/etc/rc.shutdown.
- rcshutdown_rcorder_flags
- A string. Extra arguments to the
rcorder(8) run by
/etc/rc.shutdown.
- rcshutdown_timeout
- A number. If non-blank, use this as the number of seconds to run a
watchdog timer for which will terminate
/etc/rc.shutdown if the timer expires before the
shutdown script completes.
- rc_configured
- Boolean value. If false then the system will drop into single-user mode
during boot.
- rc_fast_and_loose
- If set to a non-empty string, each script in
/etc/rc.d will be executed in the current shell
rather than a sub shell. This may be faster on slow machines that have an
expensive fork(2) operation.
- Note:
- Use this at your own risk! A rogue command or script may inadvertently
prevent boot to multiuser.
- rc_rcorder_flags
- A string. Extra arguments to the
rcorder(8) run by
/etc/rc.
- rc_directories
- A string. Space separated list of directories searched for rc scripts. The
default is /etc/rc.d. All directories in
rc_directories
must be located in the root file
system, otherwise they will be silently skipped.
- rc_silent
- Boolean value. If true then the usual output is suppressed, and
rc(8) invokes the command
specified in the rc_silent_cmd variable once for
each line of suppressed output. The default value of
rc_silent is set from the
AB_SILENT
flag in the kernel's
boothowto variable (see
boot(8),
reboot(2)).
- rc_silent_cmd
- A command to be executed once per line of suppressed output, when
rc_silent is true. The default value of
rc_silent_cmd is
‘
twiddle
’, which will display a
spinning symbol instead of each line of output. Another useful value is
‘:
’, which will display nothing at
all.
- defaultroute
- A string. Default IPv4 network route. If empty or not set, then the
contents of /etc/mygate (if it exists) are
used.
- defaultroute6
- A string. Default IPv6 network route. If empty or not set, then the
contents of /etc/mygate6 (if it exists) are
used.
- domainname
- A string. NIS (YP) domain of host. If empty or not set, then the contents
of /etc/defaultdomain (if it exists) are
used.
- force_down_interfaces
- A space separated list of interface names. These interfaces will be
configured down when going from multiuser to single-user mode or on system
shutdown.
- dns_domain
- A string. Sets domain in /etc/resolv.conf.
- dns_search
- A string. Sets search in /etc/resolv.conf.
- dns_nameservers
- A string of space separated domain name servers. Sets nameserver for each
value in /etc/resolv.conf.
- dns_sortlist
- A string. Sets sortlist in /etc/resolv.conf.
- dns_options
- A string. Sets options in /etc/resolv.conf.
- dns_metric
- An unsigned integer. Sets the priority of the above DNS to other sources,
lowest wins. Defaults to 0.
This is important for some stateful interfaces, for example
PPPoE interfaces which have no direct means of noticing
“disconnect” events.
All active
pppoe(4) interfaces will be
automatically added to this list.
- hostname
- A string. Name of host. If empty or not set, then the contents of
/etc/myname (if it exists) are used.
- critical_filesystems_local
- A string. File systems mounted very early in the system boot before
networking services are available. Usually /var is
part of this, because it is needed by services such as
dhcpcd(8) which may be
required to get the network operational. The default is
‘
OPTIONAL:/var
’,
where the ‘OPTIONAL:
’ prefix means
that it's not an error if the file system is not present in
fstab(5).
- critical_filesystems_remote
- A string. File systems such as /usr that may
require network services to be available to mount, that must be available
early in the system boot for general services to use. The default is
‘
OPTIONAL:/usr
’,
where the ‘OPTIONAL:
’ prefix means
that it is not an error if the file system is not present in
fstab(5).
- fsck_flags
- A string. A file system is checked with
fsck(8) during boot before
mounting it. This option may be used to override the default command-line
options passed to the fsck(8)
program.
When set to -y
,
fsck(8) assumes yes as the
answer to all operator questions during file system checks. This might
be important with hosts where the administrator does not have access to
the console and an unsuccessful shutdown must not make the host
unbootable even if the file system checks would fail in preen mode.
- no_swap
- Boolean value. Should be true if you have deliberately configured your
system with no swap. If false and no swap devices are configured, the
system will warn you.
- resize_root
- Boolean value. Set to true to have the system resize the root file system
to fill its partition. Will only attempt to resize the root file system if
it is of type ffs and does not have logging enabled. Defaults to
false.
- swapoff
- Boolean value. Remove block-type swap devices at shutdown time. Useful if
swapping onto RAIDframe devices.
- swapoff_umount
- “auto” or “manual”. Before removing block-type
swap devices, it is wise to unmount tmpfs filesystems to avoid having to
swap their contents back into RAM. By default (“auto”) all
tmpfs filesystems that contain no device nodes are unmounted. Set to
“manual” to explicitly specify which filesystems to unmount
before removing swap.
- swapoff_umount_fs
- A space-separated list of absolute paths to tmpfs mount points. If
swapoff_umount is set to “manual”, these
tmpfs filesystems will be forcibly unmounted before removing block-type
swap devices.
- var_shm_symlink
- A path. If set, names a path that /var/shm will be
symlinked to.
The path needs to live on a tmpfs file system. A typical value
(assuming /tmp is mounted on tmpfs) would be
/tmp/.shm.
- ccd
- Boolean value. Configures concatenated disk devices according to
ccd.conf(5).
- cgd
- Boolean value. Configures cryptographic disk devices. Requires
/etc/cgd/cgd.conf. See
cgdconfig(8) for
additional details.
- lvm
- Boolean value. Configures the logical volume manager. See
lvm(8) for additional
details.
- raidframe
- Boolean value. Configures
raid(4), RAIDframe disk
devices. See raidctl(8) for
additional details.
- accounting
- Boolean value. Enables process accounting with
accton(8). Requires
/var/account/acct to exist.
- clear_tmp
- Boolean value. Clear /tmp after reboot.
- dmesg
- Boolean value. Create /var/run/dmesg.boot from the
output of dmesg(8). Passes
dmesg_flags.

envsys.conf(5).
- gpio
- Boolean value. Configure
gpio(4) devices. See
gpio.conf(5).
- ldconfig
- Boolean value. Configures
a.out(5) runtime link editor
directory cache.
- mixerctl
- Boolean value. Read
mixerctl.conf(5) for
how to set mixer values. List in mixerctl_mixers the
devices whose settings are to be saved at shutdown and restored at
start-up.
- newsyslog
- Boolean value. Run
newsyslog
to trim log files
before syslogd starts. Intended for laptop users. Passes
newsyslog_flags.
- per_user_tmp
- Boolean value. Enables a per-user /tmp directory.
per_user_tmp_dir can be used to override the default
location of the “real” temporary directories,
/private/tmp. See
security(7) for additional
details.
- quota
- Boolean value. Checks and enables quotas by running
quotacheck(8) and
quotaon(8).
- random_seed
- Boolean value. During boot-up, runs the
rndctl(8) utility with the
-L
flag to seed the random number subsystem from
an entropy file. During shutdown, runs the
rndctl(8) utility with the
-S
flag to save some random information to the
entropy file. The entropy file name is specified by the
random_file variable, and defaults to
/var/db/entropy-file. The entropy file must be on
a local file system that is writable early during boot-up (just after the
file systems specified in critical_filesystems_local
have been mounted), and correspondingly late during shutdown.
- rndctl
- Boolean value. Runs the
rndctl(8) utility one or
more times according to the specification in
rndctl_flags.
If rndctl_flags does not contain a semicolon
(‘;
’) then it is expected to
contain zero or more flags, followed by one or more device or type
names. The rndctl(8)
command will be executed once for each device or type name. If the
specified flags do not include any of -c
,
-C
, -e
, or
-E
, then the flags -c
and -e
are added, to specify that entropy from
the relevant device or type should be both collected and estimated. If
the specified flags do not include either of -d
or -t
, then the flag -d
is added, to specify that the non-flag arguments are device names, not
type names.
rndctl_flags may contain multiple
semicolon-separated segments, in which each segment contains flags and
device or type names as described above. This allows different flags to
be associated with different device or type names. For example, given
rndctl_flags="wd0 wd1; -t tty; -c -t
net"
, the following commands will be executed:
rndctl -c -e -d wd0
; rndctl -c
-e -d wd1
; rndctl -c -e -t tty
;
rndctl -c -t net
.
- rtclocaltime
- Boolean value. Sets the real time clock to local time by adjusting the
sysctl(7) value of
kern.rtc_offset. The offset from UTC is calculated
automatically according to the time zone information in the file
/etc/localtime.
- savecore
- Boolean value. Runs the
savecore(8) utility.
Passes savecore_flags. The directory where crash dumps
are stored is specified by savecore_dir. The default
setting is /var/crash.
- sysdb
- Boolean value. Builds various system databases, including

/etc/spwd.db,
/var/db/netgroup.db,
/var/db/services.cdb, and entries for
utmp(5).
- tpctl
- Boolean value. Run tpctl(8)
to calibrate touch panel device. Passes
tpctl_flags.
- update_motd
- Boolean value. Updates the NetBSD version string
in the /etc/motd file to reflect the version of
the running kernel. See
motd(5).
- update_motd_release
- Boolean value. If enabled in addition to update_motd,
updates a second NetBSD version string in the
/etc/motd file to reflect the version,
architecture, and Build ID of the installed userland. An optional prefix
can be provided for this version string in
motd_release_tag.
- virecover
- Boolean value. Send notification mail to users if any recoverable files
exist in /var/tmp/vi.recover. Read
virecover(8) for more
information.
- wdogctl
- Boolean value. Configures watchdog timers. Passes
wdogctl_flags. Refer to
wdogctl(8) for information
on how to configure a timer.
- securelevel
- A number. The system securelevel is set to the specified value early in
the boot process, before any external logins, or other programs that run
users job, are started. If set to nothing, the default action is taken, as
described in init(8) and
secmodel_securelevel(9),
which contains definitive information about the system securelevel. Note
that setting securelevel to 0 in
rc.conf
will actually result in the system booting
with securelevel set to 1, as
init(8) will raise the level
when rc(8) completes.
- permit_nonalpha
- Boolean value. Allow passwords to include non-alpha characters, usually to
allow NIS/YP netgroups.
- veriexec
- Boolean value. Load Veriexec fingerprints during startup. Read
veriexecctl(8) for more
information.
- veriexec_strict
- A number. Controls the strict level of Veriexec. Level 0 is learning mode,
used when building the signatures file. It will only output messages but
will not enforce anything. Level 1 will only prevent access to files with
a fingerprint mismatch. Level 2 will also deny writing to and removing of
monitored files, as well as enforce access type (as specified in the
signatures file). Level 3 will take a step further and prevent access to
files that are not monitored.
- veriexec_verbose
- A number. Controls the verbosity of Veriexec. Recommended operation is at
level 0, verbose output (mostly used when building the signatures file) is
at level 1. Level 2 is for debugging only and should not be used.
- veriexec_flags
- A string. Flags to pass to the
veriexecctl
command.
- smtoff
- Boolean value. Disables SMT (Simultaneous Multi-Threading).
- altqd

- Boolean value. Runs
blacklistd(8) to
dynamically block hosts on a DoS according to configuration set in
blacklistd.conf(5)
- dhcpcd
- Boolean value. Set true to configure some or all network interfaces using
dhcpcd. If you set dhcpcd true, then
/var must be in
critical_filesystems_local, or
/var must be on the root file system. If you need
to restrict dhcpcd to one or a number of interfaces, or need a separate
configuration per interface, then this should be done in the configuration
file - see
dhcpcd.conf(5) for
details. dhcpcd presently ignores the wpa_supplicant
variable in rc.conf and will start wpa_supplicant if a suitable
wpa_supplicant.conf is found unless otherwise instructed in
dhcpcd.conf(5).
- dhcpcd_flags
- Passes dhcpcd_flags to dhcpcd. See
dhcpcd(8) for complete
documentation.

- ifaliases_*
- A string. List of ‘address netmask’ pairs
to configure additional network addresses for the given configured
interface (e.g. ifaliases_le0). If
netmask is ‘
-
’,
then use the default netmask for the interface.
ifaliases_* covers limited cases only and is
considered unrecommended. We recommend using
ifconfig_xxN variables or
/etc/ifconfig.xxN files
with multiple lines instead.
- ifwatchd
- Boolean value. Monitor dynamic interfaces and perform actions upon address
changes. Passes ifwatchd_flags.
- ip6addrctl
- Boolean value. Fine grain control of address and routing priorities.
- ip6addrctl_policy
- A string. Can be:
- ‘
auto
’
- automatically determine from system settings; will read priorities
from /etc/ip6addrctl.conf or if that file does
not exist it will default to IPv6 first, then IPv4.
- ‘
ipv4_prefer
’
- try IPv4 before IPv6.
- ‘
ipv6_prefer
’
- try IPv6 before IPv4.
- ip6addrctl_verbose
- Boolean value. If set, print the resulting prefixes and priorities
map.
- ip6mode
- A string. An IPv6 node can be a router (nodes that forward packet for
others) or a host (nodes that do not forward). A host can be
autoconfigured based on the information advertised by adjacent IPv6
routers. By setting ip6mode to
‘
router
’,
‘host
’, or
‘autohost
’, you can configure your
node as a router, a non-autoconfigured host, or an autoconfigured host.
Invalid values will be ignored, and the node will be configured as a
non-autoconfigured host.
- ip6uniquelocal
- Boolean value. If ip6mode is equal to
‘
router
’, and
ip6uniquelocal is false, a reject route will be
installed on boot to avoid misconfiguration relating to unique-local
addresses. If ip6uniquelocal is true, the reject route
won't be installed.
- ipfilter
- Boolean value. Runs ipf(8) to
load in packet filter specifications from
/etc/ipf.conf at network boot time, before any
interfaces are configured. Passes ipfilter_flags. See
ipf.conf(5).
- ipfs
- Boolean value. Runs ipfs(8) to
save and restore information for ipnat and ipfilter state tables. The
information is stored in /var/db/ipf/ipstate.ipf
and /var/db/ipf/ipnat.ipf. Passes
ipfs_flags.
- ipmon
- Boolean value. Runs ipmon(8)
to read ipf(8) packet log
information and log it to a file or the system log. Passes
ipmon_flags.
- ipmon_flags
- A string. Specifies arguments to supply to
ipmon(8). Defaults to
‘
-ns
’. A typical example would be
‘-nD /var/log/ipflog
’ to have
ipmon(8) log directly to a
file bypassing syslogd(8).
If the -D
argument is used, remember to modify
/etc/newsyslog.conf accordingly; for example:
/var/log/ipflog 640 10 100 * Z
/var/run/ipmon.pid
- ipnat
- Boolean value. Runs ipnat(8)
to load in the IP network address translation (NAT) rules from

setkey(8) to load in IPsec
manual keys and policies from /etc/ipsec.conf at
network boot time, before any interfaces are configured.
- npf
- Boolean value. Loads
npf.conf(5) at network
boot time, and starts
npf(7).
- npfd
- Boolean value. Runs npfd(8),
the NPF packet filter logging and state synchronization daemon.
- net_interfaces
- A string. The list of network interfaces to be configured at boot time.
For each interface "xxN", the system first looks for ifconfig
parameters in the variable ifconfig_xxN, and then in the
file /etc/ifconfig.xxN. If
auto_ifconfig is false, and neither the variable nor the
file is found, a warning is printed. Information in either the variable or
the file is parsed identically, except that, if an
ifconfig_xxN variable contains a single line with
embedded semicolons, then the value is split into multiple lines prior to
further parsing, treating the semicolon as a line separator.
One common case it to set the ifconfig_xxN
variable to a set of arguments to be passed to an
ifconfig(8) command
after the interface name. Refer to
ifconfig.if(5) for
more details on /etc/ifconfig.xxN files, and
note that the information there also applies to
ifconfig_xxN variables (after the variables are split
into lines).
- ntpdate
- Boolean value. Runs
ntpdate(8) to set the
system time from one of the hosts in ntpdate_hosts. If
ntpdate_hosts is empty, it will attempt to find a list
of hosts in /etc/ntp.conf. Passes
ntpdate_flags.
- pf
- Boolean value. Enable pf(4) at
network boot time: Load the initial configuration
pf.boot.conf(5) before
the network is up. After the network has been configured, then load the
final rule set
pf.conf(5).

- A string. The path of the
pf.conf(5) rule set that
will be used when loading the final rule set.
- pflogd
- Boolean value. Run pflogd(8)
for dumping packet filter logging information to a file.
- ppp
- A boolean. Toggles starting
pppd(8) on startup. See
ppp_peers below.

“
call
peer”
option.
- racoon
- Boolean value. Runs

(ISAKMP/Oakley) key management daemon.
- wpa_supplicant
- Boolean value. Run
wpa_supplicant(8),
WPA/802.11i Supplicant for wireless network devices. If you set
wpa_supplicant true, then /usr
must be in critical_filesystems_local, or

‘
_httpd
’.
- lpd
- Boolean value. Runs lpd(8) and
passes lpd_flags. The

chroot(2)ed to
ntpd_chrootdir.
${ntpd_chrootdir}
/var/run/log
will be added to the list of log sockets that
