28.1.18. /etc/sysconfig/keyboard

The /etc/sysconfig/keyboard file controls the behavior of the keyboard. The following values
may be used:
• KEYBOARDTYPE="sun|pc" where sun means a Sun keyboard is attached on /dev/kbd, or pc
means a PS/2 keyboard connected to a PS/2 port.
• KEYTABLE="<file>", where <file> is the name of a keytable file.
For example: KEYTABLE="us". The files that can be used as keytables start in /lib/
kbd/keymaps/i386 and branch into different keyboard layouts from there, all labeled
<file>.kmap.gz. The first file found beneath /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386 that matches the
KEYTABLE setting is used.

28.1.19. /etc/sysconfig/kudzu

The /etc/sysconfig/kuzdu file triggers a safe probe of the system hardware by kudzu at boot
time. A safe probe is one that disables serial port probing.
• SAFE=<value>, where <value> is one of the following:
• yes — kuzdu does a safe probe.
• no — kuzdu does a normal probe.

28.1.20. /etc/sysconfig/named

The /etc/sysconfig/named file is used to pass arguments to the named daemon at boot time.
The named daemon is a Domain Name System (DNS) server which implements the Berkeley Internet
Name Domain (BIND) version 9 distribution. This server maintains a table of which hostnames are
associated with IP addresses on the network.
Currently, only the following values may be used:
• ROOTDIR="</some/where>", where </some/where> refers to the full directory path of a
configured chroot environment under which named runs. This chroot environment must first be
configured. Type info chroot for more information.
• OPTIONS="<value>", where <value> is any option listed in the man page for named except -t.
In place of -t, use the ROOTDIR line above.
For more information about available parameters for this file, refer to the named man page. For
detailed information on how to configure a BIND DNS server, refer to
Name Domain (BIND). By default, the file contains no parameters.

28.1.21. /etc/sysconfig/network

The /etc/sysconfig/network file is used to specify information about the desired network
configuration. The following values may be used:
• NETWORKING=<value>, where <value> is one of the following boolean values:
• yes — Networking should be configured.
• no — Networking should not be configured.
