share your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file!

hi all,
here is my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file, nothing special:

Ok, so what do you think? curious to see your files :)

peace,

Yours looks like OpenBSD.

Here's my FreeBSD /etc/rc.conf:

Code:

---

hostname="MyComp.mydomain.home"
ifconfig_rl0="DHCP"
sendmail_enable="NO"
sshd_enable="YES"
syslogd_flags="-ss"

---

nice, but is that your local initialization script? i mean the "special" tweakings.

There is no local initialization script on FreeBSD ;)
You can have one but in all those years I never had the need for one. With 5.0+ things got even better organized. Everything is controlled with variables in rc.conf. You want samba turned on? samba_enable="YES". Dhcpd? dhcpd_enable="YES". Firewall? pf_enable="YES".

All base services start from /etc/rc.d/* and ports start from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/* . And everything can be turned on/off or given special flags[1] using variables in rc.conf. Makes it much less error-prone and it also allows you to easily start/stop single services[2].

[1]
dhcpd_flags="-q"
dhcpd_ifaces="eth0"

[2]
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/isc-dhcpd start
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba stop

wow, i didn't even get the time to seriously try freebsd (although i promised :D)

Yours might look like:

Code:

---

hostname=mycomp.mydomain.home
ifconfig_ath0="inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid MYWIFI channel 6 mode 11g mediaopt hostap"
ifconfig_eth0="DHCP"
gateway_enable="YES"
sshd_enable="YES"
syslogd_flags="-ss"
sendmail_enable="NO"  # this makes it run local-submit only
dhcpd_enable="YES"
dhcpd_ifaces="ath0"
bthidd_enable="YES" # Bluetooth services
