/etc/sysconfig/gpm
The
/etc/sysconfig/gpm
file is used to pass arguments to the
gpm
daemon at boot time. The
gpm
daemon is the mouse server which allows mouse acceleration and middle click pasting. For more
information about what parameters you can use in this file, type
man gpm
. By default, it sets the
mouse device to
/dev/mouse
.
3.7.1.10.
/etc/sysconfig/harddisks
The
/etc/sysconfig/harddisks
file allows you to tune your hard drive(s). You can also use
/etc/sysconfig/hardiskhd[a h]
, to configure parameters for specific drives.
Warning
Do not make changes to this file lightly. If you change the default values stored here, you could corrupt
all of the data on your hard drive(s).
The
/etc/sysconfig/harddisks
file may contain the following:
  USE_DMA=1
, where setting this to 1 enables DMA. However, with some chipsets and hard drive
combinations, DMA can cause data corruption. Check with your hard drive documentation or man 
ufacturer before enabling this.
  Multiple_IO=16
, where a setting of 16 allows for multiple sectors per I/O interrupt. When en 
abled, this feature reduces operating system overhead by 30 50%. Use with caution.
  EIDE_32BIT=3
enables (E)IDE 32 bit I/O support to an interface card.
  LOOKAHEAD=1
enables drive read lookahead.
  EXTRA_PARAMS=
specifies where extra parameters can be added.
3.7.1.11.
/etc/sysconfig/hwconf
The
/etc/sysconfig/hwconf
file lists all the hardware that
kudzu
detected on your system, as well
as the drivers used, vendor ID and device ID information. The
kudzu
program detects and configures
new and/or changed hardware on a system. The
/etc/sysconfig/hwconf
file is not meant to be
manually edited. If you do edit it, devices could suddenly show up as being added or removed.
3.7.1.12.
/etc/sysconfig/i18n
The
/etc/sysconfig/i18n
file sets the default language, such as:
LANG="en_US"
3.7.1.13.
/etc/sysconfig/identd
The
/etc/sysconfig/identd
file is used to pass arguments to the
identd
daemon at boot time.
The
identd
daemon returns the username of processes with open TCP/IP connections. Some services
on the network, such as FTP and IRC servers, will complain and cause slow responses if
identd
is
not running. But in general,
identd
is not a required service, so if security is a concern, you should
not run it. For more information about what parameters you can use in this file, type
man identd
.
By default, the file contains no parameters.
