<title>/etc/conf.linuxconf configuration file

<sect>Purpose
<p>

<em/Linuxconf/ uses standard <em/Linux/ 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.

<sect>Format
<p>

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

	<tscreen><verb>
	system.feature value ...
	</verb></tscreen>

	<descrip>
	<tag/system/	It is generally the name of a service. 

	<tag/feature/	This represents  configuration information used
			by the service.

	<tag/value/	This is a string containing anything: words,
			numbers, etc.

	</descrip>

	Here is an example:

	<tscreen><verb>
	routed.gateway 1
	</verb></tscreen>

	This line tells the system that the <tscreen/routed/ daemon must export
	its default route. The machine becomes a gateway.
