+.Dd $Mdocdate: May 26 2019 $ +.Dt INTRO 8 +.Os +.Sh NAME +.Nm intro +.Nd introduction to system maintenance and operation commands +.Sh DESCRIPTION +The manual pages in section 8 contain information related to +system operation and maintenance. +They describe commands concerning file systems, +such as +.Xr edquota 8 , +.Xr fsck 8 , +.Xr mount 8 , +and +.Xr newfs 8 . +They also cover commands concerning system backup/recovery, such as +.Xr dump 8 +and +.Xr restore 8 . +.Pp +There are pages which document the running of the system, such as +.Xr afterboot 8 , +.Xr ifconfig 8 , +.Xr security 8 , +and the configuration files located in +.Pa /etc . +Procedures concerning system failure are documented in +.Xr crash 8 . +.Pp +Section 8 pages also describe network services and daemons. +The rest of this page discusses some of the main daemons +available on the +.Ox +system, +and how to enable/disable them. +.Pp +System daemons are controlled by the script +.Xr rc 8 , +which is in turn configured by +.Xr rc.conf 8 . +For example the HTTP daemon +.Xr httpd 8 +is controlled by the following line from +.Xr rc.conf 8 : +.Bd -literal -offset indent +httpd_flags=NO +.Ed +.Pp +Thus it is not started by default. +To enable or disable daemon processes, +administrators should edit the file +.Xr rc.conf.local 8 +or use the +.Xr rcctl 8 +utility. +The +.Xr rc.conf.local 8 +file overrides variable assignments in +.Xr rc.conf 8 . +So to enable +.Xr httpd 8 , +the following line might be added to +.Pa /etc/rc.conf.local : +.Bd -literal -offset indent +httpd_flags="-v" +.Ed +.Pp +As can be seen above, +this method is also used to specify additional options. +.Pp +Below is a list of some of the daemons available. +For further information, see +.Xr rc 8 +and the individual pages for the utilities. +.Ss Automounter daemon (amd) +If using the +.Xr amd 8 +daemon, +go into the +.Pa /etc/amd +directory and set it up by +renaming +.Pa master.sample +to +.Pa master +and editing it and creating other maps as needed. +Alternatively, you can get your maps with YP. +.Pp +Relevant +.Xr rc.conf 8 +variables: +.Va amd_flags +and +.Va amd_master . +.Ss DNS server +If you are using a name server, check the +.Pa /etc/resolv.conf +file. +It may look something like: +.Bd -literal -offset indent +domain nts.umn.edu +nameserver 128.101.101.101 +nameserver 134.84.84.84 +search nts.umn.edu. umn.edu. +lookup file bind +.Ed +.Pp +If using a caching name server, add the line "nameserver 127.0.0.1" first. +.Pp +Relevant +.Xr rc.conf 8 +variables: +.Va nsd_flags +and +.Va unbound_flags . +.Ss Clock synchronisation +In order to make sure the system clock is correct, +it may be synchronised with a number of external sources. +The utilities available are: +.Xr ntpd 8 +and +.Xr rdate 8 . +.Pp +Relevant +.Xr rc.conf 8 +variables: +.Va ntpd_flags . +.Ss BOOTP/DHCP server +If this is a +BOOTP or DHCP +server, edit +.Pa /etc/dhcpd.conf +as needed. +See also +.Xr diskless 8 . +.Pp +Relevant +.Xr rc.conf 8 +variables: +.Va bootparamd_flags , +.Va dhcpd_flags , +and +.Va dhcrelay_flags . +.Ss HP remote boot server +Edit +.Pa /etc/rbootd.conf +if needed for remote booting. +If you do not have HP computers doing remote booting, do not enable this. +See also +.Xr diskless 8 . +.Pp +Relevant +.Xr rc.conf 8 +variables: +.Va rbootd_flags . +.Ss httpd web server (HTTP) +On +.Ox +it will +.Xr chroot 2 +to +.Pa /var/www . +Detailed information is available in +.Xr httpd 8 +and +.Xr httpd.conf 5 . +.Pp +Relevant +.Xr rc.conf 8 +variables: +.Va httpd_flags . +.Ss NFS server +If this is an NFS server, +edit +.Pa /etc/exports . +.Pp +Relevant +.Xr rc.conf 8 +variables: +.Va mountd_flags +and +.Va nfsd_flags . +.Ss Relay Daemon +A relay daemon, +.Xr relayd 8 , +able to run as a +load-balancer, application layer gateway, or transparent proxy. +.Pp +Relevant +.Xr rc.conf 8 +variables: +.Va relayd_flags . +.Ss Routing Daemons +Various daemons for managing routing tables are available: +.Xr bgpd 8 , +.Xr eigrpd 8 , +.Xr ospfd 8 , +and +.Xr ripd 8 . +.Pp +Relevant +.Xr rc.conf 8 +variables: +.Va bgpd_flags , +.Va eigrpd_flags , +.Va ospfd_flags , +and +.Va ripd_flags . +.Ss RPC-based network services +Several services depend on the RPC portmapper, +.Xr portmap 8 , +being running for proper operation. +This includes YP and NFS exports, among other services. +.Pp +Relevant +.Xr rc.conf 8 +variables: +.Va portmap_flags . +.Ss YP setup +Check the YP domain name with the +.Xr domainname 1 +command. +If necessary, correct it by editing the +.Pa /etc/defaultdomain +file (see +.Xr defaultdomain 5 ) . +The +.Pa /etc/netstart +script reads this file on boot to determine and set the domain name. +You may also set the running system's domain name with the +.Xr domainname 1 +command. +.Pp +Relevant +.Xr rc.conf 8 +variables: +.Va ypbind_flags . +.Pp +After starting YP client services, perform the remaining YP activation +as described in +.Xr passwd 5 +and +.Xr group 5 . +.Pp +In particular, to enable YP passwd support, you'll need to add the following +line to +.Pa /etc/master.passwd : +.Pp +.Dl +:*:::::::: +.Pp +You do this by using +.Xr vipw 8 . +.Pp +There are many more YP man pages available to help you. +You can find more information by starting with +.Xr yp 8 . +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr afterboot 8 , +.Xr rc 8 , +.Xr rc.conf 8 , +.Xr rcctl 8 +.Sh
