12 rcS -- defaults used at boot time
13 !!DESCRIPTION
14
15
16 ''/etc/default/rcS'' contains information in the
17 following format:
18
19
20 name=value
21
22
23 Only one value per line is allowed. Comments are allowed too
24 and must start with the ``#'' character.
25 !!OPTIONS
26
27
28 The following options can be set, the defaults values are
29 shown:
30
31
32 __TMPTIME=0__
33
34
35 On bootup the files in /tmp will be cleaned up if their
36 modification time was more than TMPTIME days ago. A value of
37 zero means that all files are removed regardless of age. If
38 you don't want the system to clean /tmp set TMPTIME to a
39 large value like 9125 (25 years).
40
41
42 __SULOGIN=no__
43
44
45 Setting this to __yes__ causes init to spawn a sulogin on
46 the console as one of the first things in the boot process.
47 If the administrator does not login, the sulogin will
48 timeout after 30 seconds and the boot process will
49 continue.
50
51
52 __DELAYLOGIN=yes__
53
54
55 Normally the system will not let anyone login until the boot
56 process is complete and and the system has come up
57 completely in the default runlevel (usually level 2).
58 However theoretically it's possible to login a bit earlier,
59 as soon as ''/usr/sbin/inetd'' is started. The default
60 value of __no__ prevents this, setting it to __yes__
61 allows it.
62
63
64 __UTC=__
65
66
67 This is used to interpret the system (BIOS) clock. If this
68 option is set to ''no'' the system clock is supposed to
69 be set at local time. If this option is set to ''yes''
70 the system clock is supposed to be set at UTC (Universal
71 Time, a.k.a. GMT).
72
73
74 __VERBOSE=yes__
75
76
77 Setting this option to __no__ will make the bootup a bit
78 less verbose.
79
80
81 __EDITMOTD=yes__
82
83
84 At boot time the system edits the first line of the file
85 ''/etc/motd'' and replaces it with the output from the
86 command ''uname -a''. Setting this to __no__ prohibits
87 that.
88
89
90 __FSCKFIX=no__
91
92
93 When the root and all other filesystems are checked, this
94 happens with the __-a__ flag which means
95 ''autorepair''. If there are really big inconsistencies,
96 the fsck will bail out. The system will print a message
97 asking the administrator to repair the filesystem maually
98 and present a root shell prompt (actually a ''sulogin''
99 prompt) on the console. Setting this option to yes causes
100 the fsck commands to be run with the __-y__ option
101 instead of the __-a__ option. This will always repair the
102 filesystems without any interaction but might irreversibly
103 damage your file system(s).
