System Default Parameters
The functioning of various system facilities is governed by a set of values that are read
by each facility on startup. The values stored in a file for each facility are located in the
/etc/default directory. Not every system facility has a file located in this directory.
autofs
This facility enables you to configure autofs parameters such as automatic timeout,
displaying or logging status messages, browsing autofs mount points, and tracing. For
details, see autofs(4).
cron
This facility enables you to disable or enable cron logging.
devfsadm
This file is not currently used.
dhcpagent
Client usage of DHCP is provided by the dhcpagent daemon. When ifconfig
identifies an interface that has been configured to receive its network configuration
from DHCP, it starts the client daemon to manage that interface.
For more information, see the /etc/default/dhcpagent information in the FILES
section of dhcpagent(1M).
fs
File system administrative commands have a generic and file system-specific portion.
If the file system type is not explicitly specified with the -F option, a default is
applied. The value is specified in this file. For more information, see the Description
section of default_fs(4).
ftp
This facility enables you to set the ls command behavior to the RFC 959 NLST
command. The default ls behavior is the same as in the previous Solaris release.
