SuSE Linux: Versions 6.0 to 7.3
You cannot find certain variables in the configuration file
/etc/rc.config
.
The configuration of SuSE Linux can be adapted more and more to the user's needs,
what may also lead to a far too complex file /etc/rc.config
.
Once you have recognized the problem, you will be able to solve it: Application packages
with extensive settings options (e.g. ISDN, the package "i4l
")
save their variables in single files in the directory /etc/rc.config.d
.
Look up the files in the directory /etc/rc.config.d
!
Attention: Please note that from SuSE Linux 8.0 on, the start variables of
rc.config are ignored when starting services. All services start only if the
corresponding links already exist in the runlevel directories. Links can be created
with insserv
. For further information, please refer to the man pages:
man insserv
The configuration of the system services takes place by way of variable entries in the files of the /etc/sysconfig directories. When updating, the settings from the file /etc/rc.config.d will be adopted.
