Devin Teske da45b4da83 Add new rc keywords: enable, disable, delete 
This adds new keywords to rc/service to enable/disable a service's
rc.conf(5) variable and "delete" to remove the variable.

When the "service_delete_empty" variable in rc.conf(5) is set to "YES"
(default is "NO") an rc.conf.d file (in /etc/ or /usr/local/etc) is
deleted if empty after modification using "service $foo delete".

.Dt RC.CONF 5
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm rc.conf
.Nd system configuration information
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The file
.Nm
contains descriptive information about the local host name, configuration
details for any potential network interfaces and which services should be
started up at system initial boot time.
In new installations, the
.Nm
file is generally initialized by the system installation utility.
.Pp
The purpose of
.Nm
is not to run commands or perform system startup actions
directly.
Instead, it is included by the
various generic startup scripts in
.Pa /etc
which conditionalize their
internal actions according to the settings found there.
.Pp
The
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
file is included from the file
.Pa /etc/defaults/rc.conf ,
which specifies the default settings for all the available options.
Options need only be specified in
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
when the system administrator wishes to override these defaults.
The file
.Pa /etc/rc.conf.local
is used to override settings in
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
for historical reasons.
.Pp
The sysrc(8) command provides a scripting interface to modify system
config files.
.Pp
In addition to
.Pa /etc/rc.conf.local
you can also place smaller configuration files for each
.Xr rc 8
script in the
.Pa /etc/rc.conf.d
directory or
.Ao Ar dir Ac Ns Pa /rc.conf.d
directories specified in
.Va local_startup ,
which will be included by the
.Va load_rc_config
function.
For jail configurations you could use the file
.Pa /etc/rc.conf.d/jail
to store jail specific configuration options.
If
.Va local_startup
contains
.Pa /usr/local/etc/rc.d
and
.Pa /opt/conf ,
.Pa /usr/local/rc.conf.d/jail
and
.Pa /opt/conf/rc.conf.d/jail
will be loaded.
If
.Ao Ar dir Ac Ns Pa /rc.conf.d/ Ns Ao Ar name Ac
is a directory,
all of files in the directory will be loaded.
Also see the
.Va rc_conf_files
variable below.
.Pp
Options are set with
.Dq Ar name Ns Li = Ns Ar value
assignments that use
.Xr sh 1
syntax.
The following list provides a name and short description for each
variable that can be set in the
.Nm
file:
.Bl -tag -width indent-two
.It Va rc_debug
.Pq Vt bool
If set to
.Dq Li YES ,
enable output of debug messages from rc scripts.
This variable can be helpful in diagnosing mistakes when
editing or integrating new scripts.
Beware that this produces copious output to the terminal and
.Xr syslog 3 .
.It Va rc_info
.Pq Vt bool
If set to
.Dq Li NO ,
disable informational messages from the rc scripts.
Informational messages are displayed when
a condition that is not serious enough to warrant a warning or
an error occurs.
.It Va rc_startmsgs
.Pq Vt bool
If set to
.Dq Li YES ,
show
.Dq Starting foo:
when faststart is used (e.g., at boot time).
.It Va early_late_divider
.Pq Vt str
The name of the script that should be used as the
delimiter between the
.Dq early
and
.Dq late
stages of the boot process.
The early stage should contain all the services needed to
get the disks (local or remote) mounted so that the late
stage can include scripts contained in the directories
listed in the
.Va local_startup
variable (see below).
Thus, the two likely candidates for this value are
.Pa mountcritlocal
for the typical system, and
.Pa mountcritremote
if the system needs remote file
systems mounted to get access to the
.Va local_startup
directories; for example when
.Pa /usr/local
is NFS mounted.
For
.Pa rc.conf
within a
.Xr jail 8
.Pa NETWORKING
is likely to be an appropriate value.
Extreme care should be taken when changing this value,
and before changing it one should ensure that there are
adequate provisions to recover from a failed boot
(such as physical contact with the machine,
or reliable remote console access).
.It Va always_force_depends
.Pq Vt bool
Various
.Pa rc.d
scripts use the force_depend function to check whether required
services are already running, and to start them if necessary.
By default during boot time this check is bypassed if the
required service is enabled in
.Pa /etc/rc.conf[.local] .
Setting this option will bypass that check at boot time and
always test whether or not the service is actually running.
Enabling this option is likely to increase your boot time if
services are enabled that utilize the force_depend check.
.It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _chroot
.Pq Vt str
.Xr chroot 8
to this directory before running the service.
.It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _user
.Pq Vt str
Run the service under this user account.
.It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _group
.Pq Vt str
Run the chrooted service under this system group.
Unlike the _user
setting, this setting has no effect if the service is not chrooted.
.It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _fib
.Pq Vt int
The
.Xr setfib 1
value to run the service under.
.It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _nice
.Pq Vt int
The
.Xr nice 1
value to run the service under.
.It Va apm_enable
.Pq Vt bool
If set to
.Dq Li YES ,
enable support for Automatic Power Management with
the
.Xr apm 8
command.
.It Va apmd_enable
.Pq Vt bool
Run
.Xr apmd 8
to handle APM event from userland.
This also enables support for APM.
.It Va apmd_flags
.Pq Vt str
If
.Va apmd_enable
is set to
.Dq Li YES ,
these are the flags to pass to the
.Xr apmd 8
daemon.
.It Va devd_enable
.Pq Vt bool
Run
.Xr devd 8
to handle device added, removed or unknown events from the kernel.
.It Va ddb_enable
.Pq Vt bool
Run
.Xr ddb 8
to install
.Xr ddb 4
scripts at boot time.
.It Va ddb_config
.Pq Vt str
Configuration file for
.Xr ddb 8 .
Default
.Pa /etc/ddb.conf .
.It Va kld_list
.Pq Vt str
A list of kernel modules to load right after the local
disks are mounted.
Loading modules at this point in the boot process is
much faster than doing it via
.Pa /boot/loader.conf
for those modules not necessary for mounting local disk.
.It Va kldxref_enable
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li NO
by default.
Set to
.Dq Li YES
to automatically rebuild
.Pa linker.hints
files with
.Xr kldxref 8
at boot time.
.It Va kldxref_clobber
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li NO
by default.
If
.Va kldxref_enable
is true,
setting to
.Dq Li YES
will overwrite existing
.Pa linker.hints
files at boot time.
Otherwise,
only missing
.Pa linker.hints
files are generated.
.It Va kldxref_module_path
.Pq Vt str
Empty by default.
A semi-colon
.Pq Ql \&;
delimited list of paths containing
.Xr kld 4
modules.
If empty,
the contents of the
.Va kern.module_path
.Xr sysctl 8
are used.
.It Va powerd_enable
.Pq Vt bool
If set to
.Dq Li YES ,
enable the system power control facility with the
.Xr powerd 8
daemon.
.It Va powerd_flags
.Pq Vt str
If
.Va powerd_enable
is set to
.Dq Li YES ,
these are the flags to pass to the
.Xr powerd 8
daemon.
.It Va tmpmfs
Controls the creation of a
.Pa /tmp
memory file system.
Always happens if set to
.Dq Li YES
and never happens if set to
.Dq Li NO .
If set to anything else, a memory file system is created if
.Pa /tmp
is not writable.
.It Va tmpsize
Controls the size of a created
.Pa /tmp
memory file system.
.It Va tmpmfs_flags
Extra options passed to the
.Xr mdmfs 8
utility when the memory file system for
.Pa /tmp
is created.
The default is
.Dq Li "-S" ,
which inhibits the use of softupdates on
.Pa /tmp
so that file system space is freed without delay
after file truncation or deletion.
See
.Xr mdmfs 8
for other options you can use in
.Va tmpmfs_flags .
.It Va varmfs
Controls the creation of a
.Pa /var
memory file system.
Always happens if set to
.Dq Li YES
and never happens if set to
.Dq Li NO .
If set to anything else, a memory file system is created if
.Pa /var
is not writable.
.It Va varsize
Controls the size of a created
.Pa /var
memory file system.
.It Va varmfs_flags
Extra options passed to the
.Xr mdmfs 8
utility when the memory file system for
.Pa /var
is created.
The default is
.Dq Li "-S" ,
which inhibits the use of softupdates on
.Pa /var
so that file system space is freed without delay
after file truncation or deletion.
See
.Xr mdmfs 8
for other options you can use in
.Va varmfs_flags .
.It Va populate_var
Controls the automatic population of the
.Pa /var
file system.
Always happens if set to
.Dq Li YES
and never happens if set to
.Dq Li NO .
If set to anything else, a memory file system is created if
.Pa /var
is not writable.
Note that this process requires access to certain commands in
.Pa /usr
before
.Pa /usr
is mounted on normal systems.
.It Va cleanvar_enable
.Pq Vt bool
Clean the
.Pa /var
directory.
.It Va local_startup
.Pq Vt str
List of directories to search for startup script files.
.It Va script_name_sep
.Pq Vt str
The field separator to use for breaking down the list of startup script files
into individual filenames.
The default is a space.
It is not necessary to change this unless there are startup scripts with names
containing spaces.
.It Va hostapd_enable
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li YES
to start
.Xr hostapd 8
at system boot time.
.It Va hostname
.Pq Vt str
The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of this host on the network.
This should almost certainly be set to something meaningful, even if
there is no network connection.
If
.Xr dhclient 8
is used to set the hostname via DHCP,
this variable should be set to an empty string.
Within a
.Xr jail 8
the hostname is generally already set and this variable may absent.
If this value remains unset when the system is done booting
your console login will display the default hostname of
.Dq Amnesiac .
.It Va nisdomainname
.Pq Vt str
The NIS domain name of this host, or
.Dq Li NO
if NIS is not used.
.It Va dhclient_program
.Pq Vt str
Path to the DHCP client program
.Pa ( /sbin/dhclient ,
the
.Ox
DHCP client,
is the default).
.It Va dhclient_flags
.Pq Vt str
Additional flags to pass to the DHCP client program.
For the
.Ox
DHCP client, see the
.Xr dhclient 8
manpage for a description of the command line options available.
.It Va dhclient_flags_ Ns Aq Ar iface
Additional flags to pass to the DHCP client program running on
.Ar iface
only.
When specified, this variable overrides
.Va dhclient_flags .
.It Va background_dhclient
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li YES
to start the DHCP client in background.
This can cause trouble with applications depending on
a working network, but it will provide a faster startup
in many cases.
.It Va background_dhclient_ Ns Aq Ar iface
When specified, this variable overrides the
.Va background_dhclient
variable for interface
.Ar iface
only.
.It Va synchronous_dhclient
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li YES
to start
.Xr dhclient 8
synchronously at startup.
This behavior can be overridden on a per-interface basis by replacing
the
.Dq Li DHCP
keyword in the
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable with
.Dq Li SYNCDHCP
or
.Dq Li NOSYNCDHCP .
.It Va defaultroute_delay
.Pq Vt int
When set to a positive value, wait up to this long after configuring
DHCP interfaces at startup to give the interfaces time to receive a lease.
.It Va firewall_enable
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li YES
to load firewall rules at startup.
If the kernel was not built with
.Cd "options IPFIREWALL" ,
the
.Pa ipfw.ko
kernel module will be loaded.

.Pq Vt str
This variable specifies the full path to the firewall script to run.
The default is
.Pa /etc/rc.firewall .
.It Va firewall_type
.Pq Vt str
Names the firewall type from the selection in
.Pa /etc/rc.firewall ,
or the file which contains the local firewall ruleset.
Valid selections from
.Pa /etc/rc.firewall
are:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width ".Li simple" -compact
.It Li open
unrestricted IP access
.It Li closed
all IP services disabled, except via
.Dq Li lo0
.It Li client
basic protection for a workstation
.It Li simple
basic protection for a LAN.
.El
.Pp
If a filename is specified, the full path
must be given.
.It Va firewall_quiet
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li YES
to disable the display of firewall rules on the console during boot.
.It Va firewall_logging
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li YES
to enable firewall event logging.
This is equivalent to the

.Ao Ar element Ac Ns Va _logfile
elements are assumed to exist.
.Ao Ar element Ac Ns Va _dev
must contain the
.Xr pflog 4
interface to be watched by the named
.Xr pflogd 8
instance.
.Ao Ar element Ac Ns Va _logfile
must contain the name of the logfile that will be used by the
.Xr pflogd 8
instance.
.It Va ftpproxy_enable
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li NO
by default.
Setting this to
.Dq Li YES
enables
.Xr ftp-proxy 8
which supports the
.Xr pf 4
packet filter in translating ftp connections.
.It Va ftpproxy_flags
.Pq Vt str
Empty by default.
This variable contains additional flags passed to the
.Xr ftp-proxy 8
program.
.It Va ftpproxy_instances
.Pq Vt str
Empty by default.
If multiple instances of
.Xr ftp-proxy 8
are desired at boot time,
.Va ftpproxy_instances
should contain a whitespace-separated list of instance names.
For each
.Ar element
in the list, a variable named
.Ao Ar element Ac Ns Va _flags
should be defined, containing the command-line flags to be passed to the
.Xr ftp-proxy 8
instance.
.It Va pfsync_enable
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li NO
by default.
Setting this to
.Dq Li YES
enables exposing
.Xr pf 4
state changes to other hosts over the network by means of
.Xr pfsync 4 .
The
.Va pfsync_syncdev
variable
must also be set then.
.It Va pfsync_syncdev
.Pq Vt str
Empty by default.
This variable specifies the name of the network interface
.Xr pfsync 4
should operate through.
It must be set accordingly if
.Va pfsync_enable
is set to
.Dq Li YES .
.It Va pfsync_syncpeer
.Pq Vt str
Empty by default.
This variable is optional.
By default, state change messages are sent out on the synchronisation
interface using IP multicast packets.
The protocol is IP protocol 240, PFSYNC, and the multicast group used is
224.0.0.240.
When a peer address is specified using the
.Va pfsync_syncpeer
option, the peer address is used as a destination for the pfsync
traffic, and the traffic can then be protected using
.Xr ipsec 4 .
See the
.Xr pfsync 4
manpage for more details about using
.Xr ipsec 4
with
.Xr pfsync 4
interfaces.
.It Va pfsync_ifconfig
.Pq Vt str
Empty by default.
This variable can contain additional options to be passed to the
.Xr ifconfig 8
command used to set up
.Xr pfsync 4 .
.It Va tcp_extensions
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li YES
by default.
Setting this to
.Dq Li NO
disables certain TCP options as described by
.Rs
.%T "RFC 1323"
.Re
Setting this to
.Dq Li NO
might help remedy such problems with connections as randomly hanging
or other weird behavior.
Some network devices are known
to be broken with respect to these options.
.It Va log_in_vain
.Pq Vt int
Set to 0 by default.
The
.Xr sysctl 8
variables,
.Va net.inet.tcp.log_in_vain
and
.Va net.inet.udp.log_in_vain ,
as described in
.Xr tcp 4
and
.Xr udp 4 ,
are set to the given value.
.It Va tcp_keepalive
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li YES
by default.
Setting to
.Dq Li NO
will disable probing idle TCP connections to verify that the
peer is still up and reachable.
.It Va tcp_drop_synfin
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li NO
by default.
Setting to
.Dq Li YES
will cause the kernel to ignore TCP frames that have both
the SYN and FIN flags set.
This prevents OS fingerprinting, but may
break some legitimate applications.
.It Va icmp_drop_redirect
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li NO
by default.
Setting to
.Dq Li YES
will cause the kernel to ignore ICMP REDIRECT packets.
Refer to
.Xr icmp 4
for more information.
.It Va icmp_log_redirect
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li NO
by default.
Setting to
.Dq Li YES
will cause the kernel to log ICMP REDIRECT packets.
Note that
the log messages are not rate-limited, so this option should only be used
for troubleshooting networks.
Refer to
.Xr icmp 4
for more information.
.It Va icmp_bmcastecho
.Pq Vt bool
Set to
.Dq Li YES
to respond to broadcast or multicast ICMP ping packets.
Refer to
.Xr icmp 4
for more information.
.It Va ip_portrange_first
.Pq Vt int
If not set to
.Dq Li NO ,
this is the first port in the default portrange.
Refer to
.Xr ip 4
for more information.
.It Va ip_portrange_last
.Pq Vt int
If not set to
.Dq Li NO ,
this is the last port in the default portrange.
Refer to
.Xr ip 4
for more information.
.It Va network_interfaces
.Pq Vt str
Set to the list of network interfaces to configure on this host or
.Dq Li AUTO
(the default) for all current interfaces.
Setting the
.Va network_interfaces
variable to anything other than the default is deprecated.
Interfaces that the administrator wishes to store configuration for,
but not start at boot should be configured with the
.Dq Li NOAUTO
keyword in their
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variables as described below.
.Pp
An
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable is also assumed to exist for each value of
.Ar interface .
When an interface name contains any of the characters
.Dq Li .-/+
they are translated to
.Dq Li _
before lookup.
The variable can contain arguments to
.Xr ifconfig 8 ,
as well as special case-insensitive keywords described below.
Such keywords are removed before passing the value to
.Xr ifconfig 8
while the order of the other arguments is preserved.
.Pp
It is possible to add IP alias entries using
.Xr ifconfig 8
syntax with the address family keyword such as
.Li inet .
Assuming that the interface in question was
.Li ed0 ,
it might look something like this:
.Bd -literal
ifconfig_ed0_alias0="inet 127.0.0.253 netmask 0xffffffff"
ifconfig_ed0_alias1="inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff"
.Ed
.Pp
It also possible to configure multiple IP addresses in Classless
Inter-Domain Routing
.Pq CIDR
address notation,
whose each address component can be a range like
.Li inet 192.0.2.5-23/24
or
.Li inet6 2001:db8:1-f::1/64 .
This notation allows address and prefix length part only,
not the other address modifiers.
Note that the maximum number of the generated addresses from a range
specification is limited to an integer value specified in
.Va netif_ipexpand_max
in
.Nm
because a small typo can unexpectedly generate a large number of addresses.
The default value is
.Li 2048 .
It can be increased by adding the following line into
.Nm :
.Bd -literal
netif_ipexpand_max="4096"
.Ed
.Pp
In the case of
.Li 192.0.2.5-23/24 ,
the address 192.0.2.5 will be configured with the
netmask /24 and the addresses 192.0.2.6 to 192.0.2.23 with
the non-conflicting netmask /32 as explained in the
.Xr ifconfig 8
alias section.
Note that this special netmask handling is only for
.Li inet ,
not for the other address families such as
.Li inet6 .
.Pp
With the interface in question being
.Li ed0 ,
an example could look like:
.Bd -literal
ifconfig_ed0_alias2="inet 192.0.2.129/27"
ifconfig_ed0_alias3="inet 192.0.2.1-5/28"
.Ed
.Pp
and so on.
.Pp
Note that
.Va ipv4_addrs_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable was supported for IPv4 CIDR address notation.
It is now deprecated because the functionality was integrated into
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _alias Ns Aq Ar n
though
.Va ipv4_addrs_ Ns Aq Ar interface
is still supported for backward compatibility.
.Pp
For each
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _alias Ns Aq Ar n
entry with an address family keyword,
its contents are passed to
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
Execution stops at the first unsuccessful access, so if
something like this is present:
.Bd -literal
ifconfig_ed0_alias0="inet 127.0.0.251 netmask 0xffffffff"
ifconfig_ed0_alias1="inet 127.0.0.252 netmask 0xffffffff"
ifconfig_ed0_alias2="inet 127.0.0.253 netmask 0xffffffff"
ifconfig_ed0_alias4="inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff"
.Ed
.Pp
Then note that alias4 would
.Em not
be added since the search would
stop with the missing
.Dq Li alias3
entry.
Because of this difficult to manage behavior,
there is
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _aliases
variable, which has the same functionality as
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _alias Ns Aq Ar n
and can have all of entries in a variable like the following:
.Bd -literal
ifconfig_ed0_aliases="\\
inet 127.0.0.251 netmask 0xffffffff \\
inet 127.0.0.252 netmask 0xffffffff \\
inet 127.0.0.253 netmask 0xffffffff \\
inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff"
.Ed
.Pp
It also supports CIDR notation.
.Pp
If the
.Pa /etc/start_if. Ns Aq Ar interface
file is present, it is read and executed by the
.Xr sh 1
interpreter
before configuring the interface as specified in the
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
and
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _alias Ns Aq Ar n
variables.
.Pp
If a
.Va vlans_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable is set,
a
.Xr vlan 4
interface will be created for each item in the list with the
.Ar vlandev
argument set to
.Ar interface .
If a vlan interface's name is a number,
then that number is used as the vlan tag and the new vlan interface is
named
.Ar interface . Ns Ar tag .
Otherwise,
the vlan tag must be specified via a
.Va vlan
parameter in the
.Va create_args_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable.
.Pp
To create a vlan device named
.Li em0.101
on
.Li em0
with the vlan tag 101 and the optional the IPv4 address 192.0.2.1/24:
.Bd -literal
vlans_em0="101"
ifconfig_em0_101="inet 192.0.2.1/24"
.Ed
.Pp
To create a vlan device named
.Li myvlan
on
.Li em0
with the vlan tag 102:
.Bd -literal
vlans_em0="myvlan"
create_args_myvlan="vlan 102"
.Ed
.Pp
If a
.Va wlans_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable is set,
an
.Xr wlan 4
interface will be created for each item in the list with the
.Ar wlandev
argument set to
.Ar interface .
Further wlan cloning arguments may be passed to the
.Xr ifconfig 8
.Cm create
command by setting the
.Va create_args_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable.
One or more
.Xr wlan 4
devices must be created for each wireless devices as of
.Fx 8.0 .
Debugging flags for
.Xr wlan 4
devices as set by
.Xr wlandebug 8
may be specified with an
.Va wlandebug_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable.
The contents of this variable will be passed directly to
.Xr wlandebug 8 .
.Pp
If the
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
contains the keyword
.Dq Li NOAUTO
then the interface will not be configured
at boot or by
.Pa /etc/pccard_ether
when
.Va network_interfaces
is set to
.Dq Li AUTO .
.Pp
It is possible to bring up an interface with DHCP by adding
.Dq Li DHCP
to the
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable.
For instance, to initialize the
.Li ed0
device via DHCP,
it is possible to use something like:
.Bd -literal
ifconfig_ed0="DHCP"
.Ed
.Pp
If you want to configure your wireless interface with
.Xr wpa_supplicant 8
for use with WPA, EAP/LEAP or WEP, you need to add
.Dq Li WPA
to the
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable.
.Pp
On the other hand, if you want to configure your wireless interface with
.Xr hostapd 8 ,
you need to add
.Dq Li HOSTAP
to the
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable.
.Xr hostapd 8
will use the settings from
.Pa /etc/hostapd- Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns .conf
.Pp
Finally, you can add
.Xr ifconfig 8
options in this variable, in addition to the
.Pa /etc/start_if. Ns Aq Ar interface
file.
For instance, to configure an
.Xr ath 4
wireless device in station mode with an address obtained
via DHCP, using WPA authentication and 802.11b mode, it is
possible to use something like:
.Bd -literal
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP WPA mode 11b"
.Ed
.Pp
In addition to the
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
form, a fallback variable
.Va ifconfig_DEFAULT
may be configured.
It will be used for all interfaces with no
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable.
This is intended to replace the no longer supported
.Va pccard_ifconfig
variable.
.Pp
It is also possible to rename an interface by doing:
.Bd -literal
ifconfig_ed0_name="net0"
ifconfig_net0="inet 192.0.2.1 netmask 0xffffff00"
.Ed
.It Va ipv6_enable
.Pq Vt bool
This variable is deprecated.
Use
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6
and
.Va ipv6_activate_all_interfaces
if necessary.
.Pp
If the variable is
.Dq Li YES ,
.Dq Li inet6 accept_rtadv
is added to all of
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6
and the
.Va ipv6_activate_all_interfaces
is defined as
.Dq Li YES .
.It Va ipv6_prefer
.Pq Vt bool
This variable is deprecated.
Use
.Va ip6addrctl_policy
instead.
.Pp
If the variable is
.Dq Li YES ,
the default address selection policy table set by
.Xr ip6addrctl 8
will be IPv6-preferred.
.Pp
If the variable is
.Dq Li NO ,
the default address selection policy table set by
.Xr ip6addrctl 8
will be IPv4-preferred.
.It Va ipv6_activate_all_interfaces
.Pq Vt bool
This controls initial configuration on IPv6-capable
interfaces with no corresponding
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6
variable.
Note that it is not always necessary to set this variable to
.Dq YES
to use IPv6 functionality on
.Fx .
In most cases, just configuring
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6
variables works.
.Pp
If the variable is
.Dq Li NO ,
all interfaces which do not have a corresponding
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6
variable will be marked as
.Dq Li IFDISABLED
at creation.
This means that all of IPv6 functionality on that interface
is completely disabled to enforce a security policy.
If the variable is set to
.Dq YES ,
the flag will be cleared on all of the interfaces.
.Pp
In most cases, just defining an
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6
for an IPv6-capable interface should be sufficient.
However, if an interface is added dynamically
.Pq by some tunneling protocols such as PPP, for example ,
it is often difficult to define the variable in advance.
In such a case, configuring the
.Dq Li IFDISABLED
flag can be disabled by setting this variable to
.Dq YES .
.Pp
For more details of the
.Dq Li IFDISABLED
flag and keywords
.Dq Li inet6 ifdisabled ,
see
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
.Pp
Default is
.Dq Li NO .
.It Va ipv6_privacy
.Pq Vt bool
If the variable is
.Dq Li YES
privacy addresses will be generated for each IPv6
interface as described in RFC 4941.
.It Va ipv6_network_interfaces
.Pq Vt str
This is the IPv6 equivalent of
.Va network_interfaces .
Normally manual configuration of this variable is not needed.
.It Va ipv6_cpe_wanif
.Pq Vt str
If the variable is set to an interface name,
the
.Xr ifconfig 8
options
.Dq inet6 -no_radr accept_rtadv
will be added to the specified interface automatically before evaluating
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6 ,
and two
.Xr sysctl 8
variables
.Va net.inet6.ip6.rfc6204w3
and
.Va net.inet6.ip6.no_radr
will be set to 1.
.Pp
This means the specified interface will accept ICMPv6 Router
Advertisement messages on that link and add the discovered
routers into the Default Router List.
While the other interfaces can still accept RA messages if the
.Dq inet6 accept_rtadv
option is specified, adding
routes into the Default Router List will be disabled by
.Dq inet6 no_radr
option by default.
See
.Xr ifconfig 8
for more details.
.Pp
Note that ICMPv6 Router Advertisement messages will be
accepted even when
.Va net.inet6.ip6.forwarding
is 1
.Pq packet forwarding is enabled
when
.Va net.inet6.ip6.rfc6204w3
is set to 1.
.Pp
Default is
.Dq Li NO .
.It Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _descr
.Pq Vt str
This assigns arbitrary description to an interface.
The
.Xr sysctl 8
variable
.Va net.ifdescr_maxlen
limits its length.
This static setting may be overridden by commands
started with dynamic interface configuration utilities
like
.Xr dhclient 8
hooks. The description can be seen with
.Xr ifconfig 8
command and it may be exported with
.Xr bsnmpd 1
daemon using its MIB-2 module.
.It Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6
.Pq Vt str
IPv6 functionality on an interface should be configured by
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6 ,
instead of setting ifconfig parameters in
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface .
If this variable is empty, all of IPv6 configurations on the
specified interface by other variables such as
.Va ipv6_prefix_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac
will be ignored.
.Pp
Aliases should be set by
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _alias Ns Aq Ar n
with
.Dq Li inet6
keyword.
For example:
.Bd -literal
ifconfig_ed0_ipv6="inet6 2001:db8:1::1 prefixlen 64"
ifconfig_ed0_alias0="inet6 2001:db8:2::1 prefixlen 64"
.Ed
.Pp
Interfaces that have an
.Dq Li inet6 accept_rtadv
keyword in
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6
setting will be automatically configured by SLAAC
.Pq StateLess Address AutoConfiguration
described in
.Rs
.%T "RFC 4862"
.Re
.Pp
Note that a link-local address will be automatically configured in
addition to the configured global-scope addresses because the IPv6
specifications require it on each link.
The address is calculated from the MAC address by using an algorithm
defined in
.Rs
.%T "RFC 4862"
.%O "Section 5.3"
.Re
.Pp
If only a link-local address is needed on the interface,
the following configuration can be used:
.Bd -literal
ifconfig_ed0_ipv6="inet6 auto_linklocal"
.Ed
.Pp
A link-local address can also be configured manually.
This is useful for the default router address of an IPv6 router
so that it does not change when the network interface
card is replaced.
For example:
.Bd -literal
ifconfig_ed0_ipv6="inet6 fe80::1 prefixlen 64"
.Ed
.It Va ipv6_prefix_ Ns Aq Ar interface
.Pq Vt str
If one or more prefixes are defined in
.Va ipv6_prefix_ Ns Aq Ar interface
addresses based on each prefix and the EUI-64 interface index will be
configured on that interface.
Note that this variable will be ignored when
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6
is empty.
.Pp
For example, the following configuration
.Bd -literal
ipv6_prefix_ed0="2001:db8:1:0 2001:db8:2:0"
.Ed
.Pp
is equivalent to the following:
.Bd -literal
ifconfig_ed0_alias0="inet6 2001:db8:1:: eui64 prefixlen 64"
ifconfig_ed0_alias1="inet6 2001:db8:1:: prefixlen 64 anycast"
ifconfig_ed0_alias2="inet6 2001:db8:2:: eui64 prefixlen 64"
ifconfig_ed0_alias3="inet6 2001:db8:2:: prefixlen 64 anycast"
.Ed
.Pp
These Subnet-Router anycast addresses will be added only when
.Va ipv6_gateway_enable
is YES.
.It Va ipv6_default_interface
.Pq Vt str
If not set to
.Dq Li NO ,
this is the default output interface for scoped addresses.
This works only with ipv6_gateway_enable="NO".
.It Va ip6addrctl_enable
.Pq Vt bool
This variable is to enable configuring default address selection policy table
.Pq RFC 3484 .
The table can be specified in another variable
.Va ip6addrctl_policy .
For
.Va ip6addrctl_policy
the following keywords can be specified:
.Dq Li ipv4_prefer ,
.Dq Li ipv6_prefer ,
or
.Dq Li AUTO .
.Pp
If
.Dq Li ipv4_prefer
or
.Dq Li ipv6_prefer
is specified,
.Xr ip6addrctl 8
installs a pre-defined policy table described in Section 2.1
.Pq IPv6-preferred
or 10.3
.Pq IPv4-preferred
of RFC 3484.
.Pp
If
.Dq Li AUTO
is specified, it attempts to read a file
.Pa /etc/ip6addrctl.conf
first.
If this file is found,
.Xr ip6addrctl 8
reads and installs it.
If not found, a policy is automatically set
according to
.Va ipv6_activate_all_interfaces
variable; if the variable is set to
.Dq Li YES
the IPv6-preferred one is used.
Otherwise IPv4-preferred.
.Pp
The default value of
.Va ip6addrctl_enable
and
.Va ip6addrctl_policy
are
.Dq Li YES
and
.Dq Li AUTO ,
respectively.
.It Va cloned_interfaces
.Pq Vt str
Set to the list of clonable network interfaces to create on this host.
Further cloning arguments may be passed to the
.Xr ifconfig 8
.Cm create
command for each interface by setting the
.Va create_args_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable.
If an interface name is specified with
.Dq :sticky
keyword,
the interface will not be destroyed even when
.Pa rc.d/netif
script is invoked with
.Dq stop
argument.
This is useful when reconfiguring the interface without destroying it.
Entries in
.Va cloned_interfaces
are automatically appended to
.Va network_interfaces
for configuration.
.It Va cloned_interfaces_sticky
.Pq Vt bool
This variable is to globally enable functionality of
.Dq :sticky
keyword in
.Va cloned_interfaces
for all interfaces.
The default value is
.Dq NO .
Even if this variable is specified to
.Dq YES ,
.Dq :nosticky
keyword can be used to override it on per interface basis.
.It Va gif_interfaces
.Pq Vt str
This variable is deprecated in favor of
.Va cloned_interfaces .
Set to the list of
.Xr gif 4
tunnel interfaces to configure on this host.
For each
.Xr gif
tunnel interface, set a variable named
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
with the parameters for the
.Xr ifconfig 8
command to configure the link level for
.Ar interface
with the
.Cm tunnel
option.
The value of this variable is used to configure the link layer of the
tunnel using the
.Cm tunnel
option to
.Xr ifconfig .
For example, configure two
.Xr gif
interfaces with:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
gif_interfaces="gif0 gif1"
ifconfig_gif0="tunnel src_addr0 dst_addr0"
ifconfig_gif1="tunnel src_addr1 dst_addr1"
.Ed
.Pp
Additionally, this option ensures that each listed interface is created
via the
.Cm create
option to
.Xr ifconfig .
This example also works with
.Va cloned_interfaces
instead of
.Va gif_interfaces .
.It Va sppp_interfaces
.Pq Vt str
Set to the list of
.Xr sppp 4
interfaces to configure on this host.
A
.Va spppconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable is assumed to exist for each value of
.Ar interface .
Each interface should also be configured by a general
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
setting.
Refer to
.Xr spppcontrol 8
for more information about available options.
.It Va ppp_enable
.Pq Vt bool
If set to
.Dq Li YES ,
run the
.Xr ppp 8
daemon.
.It Va ppp_profile
.Pq Vt str
The name of the profile to use from
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf .
Also used for per-profile overrides of
.Va ppp_mode
and
.Va ppp_nat ,
and
.Va ppp_ Ns Ao Ar profile Ac Ns _unit .
When the profile name contains any of the characters
.Dq Li .-/+
they are translated to
.Dq Li _
for the proposes of the override variable names.
.It Va ppp_mode
.Pq Vt str
Mode in which to run the
.Xr ppp 8
daemon.
.It Va ppp_ Ns Ao Ar profile Ac Ns _mode
.Pq Vt str
Overrides the global
.Va ppp_mode
for
.Ar profile .
Accepted modes are
.Dq Li auto ,
.Dq Li ddial ,
.Dq Li direct
and
.Dq Li dedicated .
See the manual for a full description.
.It Va ppp_nat
.Pq Vt bool
If set to
.Dq Li YES ,
enables network address translation.
Used in conjunction with
.Va gateway_enable
allows hosts on private network addresses access to the Internet using
this host as a network address translating router.
.It Va ppp_ Ns Ao Ar profile Ac Ns _nat
.Pq Vt str
Overrides the global
.Va ppp_nat
for
.Ar profile .
.It Va ppp_ Ns Ao Ar profile Ac Ns _unit
.Pq Vt int
Set the unit number to be used for this profile.
See the manual description of
.Fl unit Ns Ar N
for details.
.It Va ppp_user
.Pq Vt str
The name of the user under which
.Xr ppp 8
should be started.
By
default,
.Xr ppp 8
is started as
.Dq Li root .
.It Va rc_conf_files
.Pq Vt str

.Pp
It should also be noted that while this is enabled, any
other client of the mouse (such as an X server) should access
the mouse through the virtual mouse device,
.Pa /dev/sysmouse ,
and configure it as a
.Dq Li sysmouse
type mouse, since all
mouse data is converted to this single canonical format when
using
.Xr moused 8 .
If the client program does not support the
