The /etc/sysconfig
directory contains files
that control your system's configuration. The contents of this
directory depend on the packages that you have installed on your
system.
Some of the files that you might find in the
/etc/sysconfig
directory include:
-
atd
Specifies additional command line arguments for the
atd
daemon.-
authconfig
Specifies whether various authentication mechanisms and options may be used. For example, the entry
USEMKHOMEDIR=no
disables the creation of a home directory for a user when he or she first logs in.-
autofs
Defines custom options for automatically mounting devices and controlling the operation of the automounter.
-
crond
