• SETCOLOR_FAILURE= <value> , where <value> sets the color to a color indicating failure.
Defaults to ANSI sequences output by echo -e, setting the color to red.
• SETCOLOR_WARNING= <value> , where <value> sets the color to a color indicating warning.
Defaults to ANSI sequences output by echo -e, setting the color to yellow.
• SETCOLOR_NORMAL= <value> , where <value> sets the color to 'normal'. Defaults to ANSI
sequences output by echo -e.
• LOGLEVEL= <value> , where <value> sets the initial console logging level for the kernel.
The default is 7; 8 means everything (including debugging); 1 means nothing except kernel panics.
syslogd will override this once it starts.
• PROMPT= <value> , where <value> is one of the following boolean values:
– yes — Enables the key check for interactive mode.
– no — Disables the key check for interactive mode.
/etc/sysconfig/ipchains
The /etc/sysconfig/ipchains file contains information used by the kernel to set up
ipchains rules regarding packet filtering.
This file is modified by running the service ipchains save command when valid ipchains
rules are in place. You should not manually edit this file. Instead, use the ipchains command to
configure the necessary packet filtering rules and then save the rules to this file.
/etc/sysconfig/iptables
Like /etc/sysconfig/ipchains, the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file stores information
used by the kernel to provide specialized packet filtering services. However, this file is used by ipt-
ables rather than ipchains.
You should not modify this file by hand unless you are familiar with methods used to construct ipt-
ables rules. These rules are written to /etc/sysconfig/iptables by the service ipt-
ables save command, which stores the current iptables rules by running the /sbin/ipta-
bles-save program. Then, when iptables is restarted, such as is the case when the system is
booted, the /sbin/iptables-restore program reads the file and reinstitutes the packet filter-
ing rules.
/etc/sysconfig/irda
The /etc/sysconfig/irda file controls how infrared devices on your system are configured at
startup.
