File 5: /etc/resolv.conf
YaST enters the given name server here.
/etc/HOSTNAME
Here is the host name without the domain name attached. This file is
read by several scripts while the machine is booting. It may only con-
tain one line where the host name is mentioned. This file will also au-
tomatically be generated from the configuration in /etc/rc.config.
Start-Up Scripts
Apart from the configuration files described above, there are also various
scripts that load the network programs while the machine is booted. This
is started as soon as the system is switched to one of the multiuser runlevels
(see also Table 2.4 on the following page).
/etc/init.d/network This script takes over the configuration for
the network hardware and software during
the system’s start-up phase. During this pro-
cess, the IP and network address, netmask,
and gateway specifications entered by YaST
in the /etc/rc.config file are evaluated.
/etc/init.d/route Sets up static routes over the network.
/etc/init.d/inetd Starts inetd if specified in /etc/rc.
config. This is only necessary for logging
in to this machine over the network.
/etc/init.d/portmap Starts the portmapper needed for the RPC
server, such as an NFS server.
