  /etc/conf.linuxconf configuration file


  11..  PPuurrppoossee


  _L_i_n_u_x_c_o_n_f uses standard _L_i_n_u_x configuration files whenever possible.
  Some services do not have a configuration file. They are normally
  controlled with shell scripts, that are generally located in the
  /etc/rc.d directory.

  /etc/conf.linuxconf provides a central location for those different
  services.


  22..  FFoorrmmaatt


  /etc/conf.linuxconf is an ASCII file. Each line contains one
  configuration record. The format is trivial.



               system.feature value ...






     ssyysstteemm
        It is generally the name of a service.


     ffeeaattuurree
        This represents  configuration information used by the service.


     vvaalluuee
        This is a string containing anything: words, numbers, etc.


  Here is an example:



               routed.gateway 1





  This line tells the system that the

       routed

  daemon must export its default route. The machine becomes a gateway.
