It implements version 4 of the Network Time Protocol (NTP). For more information about what
parameters you can use in this file, point a browser at the following file: /usr/share/doc/ntp-
version /ntpd.htm (where version is the version number of ntpd). By default, this file sets
the owner of the ntpd process to the user ntp.
3.7.1.25. /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia
The /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia file is used to specify PCMCIA configuration information. The fol-
lowing values may be used:
PCMCIA=
value , where value is one of the following:
yes — PCMCIA support should be enabled.
no — PCMCIA support should not be enabled.
PCIC= value , where value is one of the following:
i82365 — The computer has an i82365-style PCMCIA socket chipset.
tcic — The computer has a tcic-style PCMCIA socket chipset.
PCIC_OPTS= value , where value is the socket driver (i82365 or tcic) timing parameters.
CORE_OPTS= value , where value is the list of pcmcia_core options.
CARDMGR_OPTS= value , where value is the list of options for the PCMCIA cardmgr
(such as -q for quiet mode; -m to look for loadable kernel modules in the specified directory, and
so on). Read the cardmgr man page for more information.
3.7.1.26. /etc/sysconfig/radvd
The /etc/sysconfig/radvd file is used to pass arguments to the radvd daemon at boot time.
The radvd daemon listens to for router requests and sends router advertisements for the IP version

on these router advertisements. For more information about what parameters you can use in this file,
type man radvd. By default, this file sets the owner of the radvd process to the user radvd.
3.7.1.27. /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices
