New page The location of the configuration files depend on the specific distribution, but is usually subdirectories of, or files in <tt>'''/etc'''</tt>, <tt>'''/usr/etc'''</tt>, <tt>'''/usr/local/etc'''</tt>. The files are set up by installation but can be updated later. Applying the configuration change will then be a matter of restarting the corresponding daemon. The main Slackware configuration files are : == Init configuration == {| {{thead}} |- ! {{chead}} width="200" | File ! {{chead}} | Content |- | <tt>'''/etc/inittab'''</tt>||contains the default runlevel (3=multi-user, 4=graphical). On a live system, <tt>'''telinit n'''</tt> affords changing the level interactively. |- | <tt>'''/etc/fstab'''</tt>||contains descriptions on the filesystems used on this computer, including the device, the mount point, the filesystem type and the opening options. Use <tt>'''man fstab'''</tt>, copy, and try ! |- | <tt>'''/etc/http'''</tt>||Directory containing the Apache configuration files such as httpd.conf. |- | <tt>'''/etc/lilo.conf'''</tt>||used by lilo to generate a boot sector on the device or on the MBR (master boot record). If on the device and using the Windows bootloader, don't forget to copy the boot sector on a disquette so as to be able to use it from Windows. |- | <tt>'''/etc/mail'''</tt>||Directory containing the Sendmail configuration files such as sendmail.mc and sendmail.cf. Spamassassin configuration also goes here as a subdirectory. |- | <tt>'''/etc/mail/aliases'''</tt>||File containing a list of users that do not exist on the server and whose mail is redirected to existing users. After modifying this file the command <tt>'''newaliases'''</tt> must be ran. # redirect news usenet: news |- | <tt>'''/etc/ntpd.conf'''</tt>||Configuration for the network time protocol. Add ntp servers for your region as below. After an update, restart using <tt>'''/etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd restart'''</tt>. # NTP server (list one or more) to synchronize with: server 0.fr.pool.ntp.org server 1.fr.pool.ntp.org server 2.fr.pool.ntp.org server 3.fr.pool.ntp.org |- | <tt>'''/etc/profile'''</tt>||don't forget to update the paths: MANPATH=/usr/local/share/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/man |- | <tt>'''/etc/profile.d'''</tt>||the files contained in this directory are executed at login when executable. |- | <tt>'''/etc/ld.so.conf'''</tt>||list of additional libraries. Needs <tt>'''/sbin/ldconfig'''</tt> after adding new libraries. Add <tt>'''/usr/local/lib64'''</tt> here. |- | <tt>'''.bashrc'''</tt>||Specify <tt>'''. /etc/profile'''</tt> on a line of itself to use in <tt>'''konsole'''</tt> the same environment as in the command line. This will afford <tt>'''colorls'''</tt> to work in new <tt>'''konsole'''</tt> tabs. |} == The /etc/rc.d directory == The <tt>'''/etc/rc.d'''</tt> directory contains the scripts used to initialize the system services at the end of the boot. To use a specific script at startup, make it user-executable. To stop using it, remove the execution rights. Depending on the situation, scripts are called with the <tt>'''start'''</tt>, <tt>'''stop'''</tt>, or <tt>'''restart'''</tt> parameter. == Network configuration == The network configuration is done during system installation but it is possible to change it later by editing the files and restarting the right daemon: {| {{thead}} |- ! {{chead}} width="200" | File ! {{chead}} | Content |- | <tt>'''/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf'''</tt>||configuration of the network. For Xen the standard configuration uses a bridge. A bridge gathers several physical network interfaces. The bridge is configured with an IP address while the physical network interfaces are left unconfigured. After an update, restart using <tt>'''/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart'''</tt>. # Config information for eth0: IPADDR[0]="" NETMASK[0]="" USE_DHCP[0]="" DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]="" . . . # Example of how to configure a bridge: # Note the added "BRNICS" variable which contains a space-separated list # of the physical network interfaces you want to add to the bridge.

This is useful for a computer with several interfaces, for instance a firewall. To allow forwarding, just make the script executable. |- | <tt>'''/etc/ssh/sshd_config'''</tt>||ssh server configuration. '''PermitRootLogin yes''' affords login as root. To authorize X11Forwarding use '''ForwardX11 yes'''. After an update, restart using '''/etc/rc.d/rc.sshd restart'''. |- | <tt>'''/etc/ssh/ssh_config'''</tt>||ssh client configuration. To authorize X11Forwarding use '''ForwardX11 yes''' and '''ForwardX11Trusted yes''' to avoid a warning using '''ssh''' and get better security. |- | <tt>'''/etc/hosts'''</tt>||contains the addresses of the local hosts that bind cannot resolve, as they are in a private addressing plan. It is also possible to specify here addresses that will be chosen in lieu of their official address. |- | <tt>'''/etc/rc.d/rc.bind'''</tt>||setting this script as user-executable will afford running the local computer to be its own DNS. |- | <tt>'''/etc/named.conf'''</tt>||uncomment the query-source directive to suppress the port-unreachable packets on '''lo'''. |- | <tt>'''/etc/resolv.conf'''</tt>||if using local bind, append a line with <tt>'''nameserver 127.0.0.1'''</tt>. |- | <tt>'''/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules'''</tt>||affords changing which interface is eth0. |} Note : In case of network issue, it can be a good idea to check the configuration using <tt>'''ifconfig -a'''</tt>, <tt>'''netstat -f inet -rn'''</tt>, and <tt>'''route'''</tt>. The routes are kept from one boot to the other and it may become necessary to delete the existing routes using <tt>'''route flush'''</tt>, then reboot. {{pFoot|[[Linux basics]]|[[Main Page]]|[[IPTables]]}}
