Important files in /etc
Some important OpenBSD configuration files in the /etc directory:

  1. /etc/fstab
    file system table entries.
  2. /etc/hostname.<network-id>
    configuration directives for your network card.

    I added a Realtek 8139 based network card to my system and edited my /etc/hostname.ne1 to tell that NE2000 PnP ISA card (ne1) that it got a new job. ne1 first listened to 192.168.0.8, now it should listen for trafic heading for 10.0.0.8.
    The info for that Realtek card is located in /etc/hostname.rl0 for my specific system setup. So I edited that file to let rl0 know it should intercept any trafic directed at 192.168.0.8.

  3. /etc/rc
    I edited this file as to remove the automatic insertion of a info line into /etc/motd each time the system boots up.
    Search for the line that reads «# patch /etc/motd«
  4. /etc/rc.conf
    system startup configuration entries.
  5. /etc/shells
    contains a list of valid shells available on the system.

    I added /usr/local/bin/tcsh, so that I’d be able to use tcsh (:

  6. /etc/
    working on this one.. have patience
