[UNIX FILE] /etc/defaults/rc.conf (FreeBSD system start-up)

In FreeBSD the primary start-up configuration file is /etc/defaults/rc.conf. System startup scripts such as /etc/rc and /etc/rc.d just include this file.

If you want to add other programs to system startup you need to change /etc/rc.conf file instead of /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

[box type=”warning”] NEWER CHANGE /etc/defaults/rc.conf file![/box]

Example, if you wish to start squid proxy server, you need to do:

# echo 'squid_enable=YES' >> /etc/rc.conf

To start up local services, place shell scripts in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory. These shell scripts should be set executable, the default file mode is 555.

/etc/defaults/rc.conf

Here is the original FreeBSD 9 /etc/defaults/rc.conf file

#!/bin/sh

# This is rc.conf - a file full of useful variables that you can set
# to change the default startup behavior of your system.  You should
# not edit this file!  Put any overrides into one of the ${rc_conf_files}
# instead and you will be able to update these defaults later without
# spamming your local configuration information.
#
# The ${rc_conf_files} files should only contain values which override
# values set in this file.  This eases the upgrade path when defaults
# are changed and new features are added.
#
# All arguments must be in double or single quotes.
#
# For a more detailed explanation of all the rc.conf variables, please
# refer to the rc.conf(5) manual page.
