RC.NET(8N)              COMMAND REFERENCE              RC.NET(8N)



NAME
     rc.net - command script for network auto-reboot and daemons

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/rc.net

DESCRIPTION
     The command script rc.net controls the automatic reboot for
     networking, invokes servers, and configures networking
     services.  The rc.net script should not be dependent on the
     workstation's network number or physical location; any
     configuration command or server that does have those
     dependencies should be placed in the rc.local file.

     When an automatic reboot is in progress, rc.net is invoked
     by /etc/rc(8); rc.net runs netconfig(8n) and uses the return
     code to determine the network configuration.  Using this
     configuration, rc.net then starts the appropriate network
     daemon processes as described here.  In addition, rc.net
     establishes the network routing options set forth in this
     script by the system administrator.  Finally, rc.net
     terminates and returns control back to /etc/rc(8).

     There are two network configurations:

          1. Enable no network services. Do not start the network
             daemons.

          2. Enable Networking. Start nameserver(8n), and
             inetd(8n) . In turn, inetd(8n) starts the servers
             for rlogin(1n), rsh(1n), uptime(1n), ftp(1n),
             telnet(1n), and other services that rely on the
             tcp(4n), ip(4n), and udp(4n) network protocols.

FILES
     network.conf(5n)
                  This file is used by netconfig(8n) to remember
                  the network configuration from one boot to the
                  next.
