RC.NET(8N) COMMAND REFERENCE RC.NET(8N)
NAME
rc.net - command script for network auto-reboot and daemons
SYNOPSIS
/etc/rc.net
DESCRIPTION
The command script rc.net controls the automatic reboot for
networking, invokes servers, and configures networking
services. The rc.net script should not be dependent on the
workstation's network number or physical location and any
configuration command or server that does have those
dependencies should be placed in the rc.local file.
When an automatic reboot is in progress, rc.net is invoked
by /etc/rc(8); rc.net runs netconfig(8n) and uses the return
code to determine the network configuration. Using this
configuration, rc.net then starts the appropriate network
daemon processes as described here. In addition, rc.net
establishes the network routing options set forth in this
script by the system administrator. Finally, rc.net
terminates and returns control back to /etc/rc(8).
There are two network configurations:
1. Enable no network services. Do not start the network
daemons.
2. Enable Networking. Start nameserver(8n), and
inetd(8n) . In turn, inetd(8n) starts the servers
for rlogin(1n), rsh(1n), uptime(1n), ftp(1n),
telnet(1n), and other services that rely on the
tcp(4n), ip(4n), and udp(4n) network protocols.
FILES
network.conf(5n)
This file is used by netconfig(8n) to remember
from one boot to the next what the network
configuration is.
