3.7.1.28. /etc/sysconfig/redhat-config-users
The /etc/sysconfig/redhat-config-users file is the configuration file for the graphical appli-
cation, User Manager. Under Red Hat Linux 8.0 this file is used to filter out system users such as
root, daemon, or lp. This file is edited by the Preferences => Filter system users and groups pull-
down menu in the User Manager application and should not be edited by hand. For more information
on using this application, see the chapter called User and Group Configuration in the Official Red Hat
Linux Customization Guide.
3.7.1.29. /etc/sysconfig/redhat-logviewer
The /etc/sysconfig/redhat-logviewer file is the configuration file for the graphical, interac-
tive log viewing application, Log Viewer. This file is edited by the Edit => Preferences pull-down
menu in the Log Viewer application and should not be edited by hand. For more information on using
this application, see the chapter called Log Files in the Official Red Hat Linux Customization Guide.
3.7.1.30. /etc/sysconfig/samba
The /etc/sysconfig/samba file is used to pass arguments to the smbd and the nmbd daemons at
boot time. The smbd daemon offers file sharing connectivity for Windows clients on the network. The
nmbd daemon offers NetBIOS over IP naming services. For more information about what parameters
you can use in this file, type man smbd. By default, this file sets smbd and nmbd to run in daemon
mode.
3.7.1.31. /etc/sysconfig/sendmail
The /etc/sysconfig/sendmail file allows messages to be sent to one or more recipients, routing
the message over whatever networks are necessary. The file sets the default values for the Sendmail
application to run. Its default values are to run as a background daemon, and to check its queue once
an hour in case something has backed up.
The following values may be used:
• DAEMON=
value , where value is one of the following boolean values:
• yes — Sendmail should be configured to listen to port 25 for incoming mail. yes implies the
use of Sendmail’s -bd options.
• no — Sendmail should not be configured to listen to port 25 for incoming mail.
• QUEUE=1h which is given to Sendmail as -q$QUEUE. The -q option is not given to Sendmail if
/etc/sysconfig/sendmail exists and QUEUE is empty or undefined.
3.7.1.32. /etc/sysconfig/soundcard
The /etc/sysconfig/soundcard file is generated by sndconfig and should not be modified. The
sole use of this file is to determine what card entry in the menu to pop up by default the next time
sndconfig is run. Sound card configuration information is located in the /etc/modules.conf file.
It may contain the following:
• CARDTYPE=
value , where value is set to, for example, SB16 for a Soundblaster 16 sound
card.
