RC.CONF(5) File Formats Manual RC.CONF(5) NAME rc.conf -- system configuration information DESCRIPTION The file rc.conf contains descriptive information about the local host name, configuration details for any potential network interfaces and which services should be started up at system initial boot time. In new instal- lations, the rc.conf file is generally initialized by the system installa- tion utility, sysinstall(8). The purpose of rc.conf is not to run commands or perform system startup ac- tions directly. Instead, it is included by the various generic startup scripts in /etc which conditionalize their internal actions according to the settings found there. The /etc/rc.conf file is included from the file /etc/defaults/rc.conf, which specifies the default settings for all the available options. Op- tions need only be specified in /etc/rc.conf when the system administrator wishes to override these defaults. The file /etc/rc.conf.local is used to override settings in /etc/rc.conf for historical reasons. See the rc_conf_files variable below. The following list provides a name and short description for each variable that can be set in the rc.conf file: rc_debug (bool) If set to "YES", enable output of debug messages from rc scripts. This variable can be helpful in diagnosing mistakes when editing or integrating new scripts. Beware that this pro- duces copious output to the terminal and syslog(3). rc_info (bool) If set to "NO", disable informational messages from the rc scripts. Informational messages are displayed when a condi- tion that is not serious enough to warrant a warning or an er- ror occurs. swapfile (str) If set to "NO", no swapfile is installed, otherwise the value is used as the full pathname to a file to use for addi- tional swap space. apm_enable (bool) If set to "YES", enable support for Automatic Power Man- agement with the apm(8) command. apmd_enable (bool) Run apmd(8) to handle APM event from userland. This also enables support for APM. apmd_flags (str) If apmd_enable is set to "YES", these are the flags to pass to the apmd(8) daemon. devd_enable (bool) Run devd(8) to handle device added, removed or unknown events from the kernel. kldxref_enable (bool) Set to "NO" by default. Set to "YES" to automatically rebuild linker.hints files with kldxref(8) at boot time. kldxref_clobber (bool) Set to "NO" by default. If kldxref_enable is true, set- ting to "YES" will overwrite existing linker.hints files at boot time. Otherwise, only missing linker.hints files are gen- erated. kldxref_module_path (str) Empty by default. A semi-colon (`;') delimited list of paths containing kld(4) modules. If empty, the contents of the kern.module_path sysctl(8) are used. pccard_enable (bool) If set to "YES", enable PCCARD support at boot time. pccard_mem (str) Set to PCCARD controller memory address or "DEFAULT" for the default value. pccard_ifconfig (str) List of arguments to be passed to ifconfig(8) at boot time or on insertion of the card (e.g. "inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" for a fixed address or "DHCP" for a DHCP client). pccard_beep (int) If 0, set the PCCARD controller to silent mode. If 1, set it to beep mode. If 2, set it to melody mode. pccard_conf (str) Path to the configuration file for the pccardd(8) daemon (e.g. /etc/pccard.conf.sample). pccardd_flags (str) If pccard_enable is set to "YES", these are the flags to pass to the pccardd(8) daemon. pccard_ether_delay (str) Set the delay before starting dhclient(8) in the /etc/pccard_ether script. This defaults to 5 seconds to work around a bug in the ed(4) driver which can lead to system hangs when using some newer ed(4) based cards. removable_interfaces (str) List of removable network interfaces to be supported by /etc/pccard_ether. tmpmfs Controls the creation of a /tmp memory file system. Always happens if set to "YES" and never happens if set to "NO". If set to anything else, a memory file system is created if /tmp is not writable. tmpsize Controls the size of a created /tmp memory file system. tmpmfs_flags Extra options passed to the mdmfs(8) utility when the memory file system for /tmp is created. The default is "-S", which inhibits the use of softupdates on /tmp to waste as little space as possible. See mdmfs(8) for other options you can use in tmpmfs_flags. varmfs Controls the creation of a /var memory file system. Always happens if set to "YES" and never happens if set to "NO". If set to anything else, a memory file system is created if /var is not writable. varsize Controls the size of a created /var memory file system. varmfs_flags Extra options passed to the mdmfs(8) utility when the memory file system for /var is created. The default is "-S", which inhibits the use of softupdates on /var to waste as little space as possible. See mdmfs(8) for other options you can use in varmfs_flags. populate_var Controls the automatic population of the /var file system. Al- ways happens if set to "YES" and never happens if set to "NO". If set to anything else, a memory file system is created if /var is not writable. Note that this process requires access to certain commands in /usr before /usr is mounted on normal systems. local_startup (str) List of directories to search for startup script files. script_name_sep (str) The field separator to use for breaking down the list of startup script files into individual filenames. The default is a space. It is not necessary to change this unless there are startup scripts with names containing spaces. hostname (str) The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of this host on the network. This should almost certainly be set to something meaningful, even if there is no network connection. If dhclient(8) is used to set the hostname via DHCP, this variable should be set to an empty string. ipv6_enable (bool) Enable support for IPv6 networking. Note that this re- quires that the kernel have been compiled with options INET6. nisdomainname (str) The NIS domain name of this host, or "NO" if NIS is not used. dhclient_program (str) Path to the DHCP client program (/sbin/dhclient, the ISC DHCP client, is the default). dhclient_flags (str) Additional flags to pass to the DHCP client program. For the ISC DHCP client, see the dhclient(8) manpage for a descrip- tion of the command line options available. background_dhclient (bool) Set to "YES" to start the dhcp client in background. This can cause trouble with applications depending on a working network, but it will provide a faster startup in many cases. firewall_enable (bool) Set to "YES" to load firewall rules at startup. If the kernel was not built with options IPFIREWALL, the ipfw.ko ker- nel module will be loaded. See also ipfilter_enable. ipv6_firewall_enable (bool) The IPv6 equivalent of firewall_enable. Set to "YES" to load IPv6 firewall rules at startup. If the kernel was not built with options IPV6FIREWALL, the ip6fw.ko kernel module will be loaded. firewall_script (str) This variable specifies the full path to the firewall script to run. The default is /etc/rc.firewall. ipv6_firewall_script (str) The IPv6 equivalent of firewall_script. firewall_type (str) Names the firewall type from the selection in /etc/rc.firewall, or the file which contains the local firewall ruleset. Valid selections from /etc/rc.firewall are: open unrestricted IP access closed all IP services disabled, except via "lo0" client basic protection for a workstation simple basic protection for a LAN. If a filename is specified, the full path must be given. ipv6_firewall_type (str) The IPv6 equivalent of firewall_type. firewall_quiet (bool) Set to "YES" to disable the display of firewall rules on the console during boot. ipv6_firewall_quiet (bool) The IPv6 equivalent of firewall_quiet. firewall_logging (bool) Set to "YES" to enable firewall event logging. This is equivalent to the IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE kernel option. ipv6_firewall_logging (bool) The IPv6 equivalent of firewall_logging. firewall_flags (str) Flags passed to ipfw(8) if firewall_type specifies a filename. ipv6_firewall_flags (str) The IPv6 equivalent of firewall_flags. natd_program (str) Path to natd(8). natd_enable (bool) Set to "YES" to enable natd(8). firewall_enable must also be set to "YES", and divert(4) sockets must be enabled in the kernel. If the kernel was not built with options IPDIVERT, the ipdivert.ko kernel module will be loaded. natd_interface (str) This is the name of the public interface on which natd(8) should run. The interface may be given as an interface name or as an IP address. natd_flags (str) Additional natd(8) flags should be placed here. The -n or -a flag is automatically added with the above natd_interface as an argument. ipfilter_enable (bool) Set to "NO" by default. Setting this to "YES" enables ipf(8) packet filtering. Typical usage will require putting ipfilter_enable="YES" ipnat_enable="YES" ipmon_enable="YES" ipfs_enable="YES" into /etc/rc.conf and editing /etc/ipf.rules and /etc/ipnat.rules appropriately. Note that ipfilter_enable and ipnat_enable can be enabled inde- pendently. ipmon_enable and ipfs_enable both require at least one of ipfilter_enable and ipnat_enable to be enabled. Having options IPFILTER options IPFILTER_LOG options IPFILTER_DEFAULT_BLOCK in the kernel configuration file is a good idea, too. ipfilter_program (str) Path to ipf(8) (default /sbin/ipf). ipfilter_rules (str) Set to /etc/ipf.rules by default. This variable contains the name of the filter rule definition file. The file is ex- pected to be readable for the ipf(8) command to execute. ipv6_ipfilter_rules (str) Set to /etc/ipf6.rules by default. This variable con- tains the IPv6 filter rule definition file. The file is ex- pected to be readable for the ipf(8) command to execute. ipfilter_flags (str) Empty by default. This variable contains flags passed to the ipf(8) program. ipnat_enable (bool) Set to "NO" by default. Set it to "YES" to enable ip- nat(1) network address translation. See ipfilter_enable for a detailed discussion. ipnat_program (str) Path to ipnat(1) (default /sbin/ipnat). ipnat_rules (str) Set to /etc/ipnat.rules by default. This variable con- tains the name of the file holding the network address transla- tion definition. This file is expected to be readable for the ipnat(1) command to execute. ipnat_flags (str) Empty by default. This variable contains flags passed to the ipnat(1) program. ipmon_enable (bool) Set to "NO" by default. Set it to "YES" to enable ip- mon(8) monitoring (logging ipf(8) and ipnat(1) events). Set- ting this variable needs setting ipfilter_enable or ipnat_enable too. See ipfilter_enable for a detailed discus- sion. ipmon_program (str) Path to ipmon(8) (default /sbin/ipmon). ipmon_flags (str) Set to "-Ds" by default. This variable contains flags passed to the ipmon(8) program. Another typical example would be "-D /var/log/ipflog" to have ipmon(8) log directly to a file bypassing syslogd(8). Make sure to adjust /etc/newsyslog.conf in such case like this: /var/log/ipflog 640 10 100 * Z /var/run/ipmon.pid ipfs_enable (bool) Set to "NO" by default. Set it to "YES" to enable ipfs(8) saving the filter and NAT state tables during shutdown and reloading them during startup again. Setting this variable needs setting ipfilter_enable or ipnat_enable to "YES" too. See ipfilter_enable for a detailed discussion. Note that if kern_securelevel is set to 3, ipfs_enable cannot be used be- cause the raised securelevel will prevent ipfs(8) from saving the state tables at shutdown time. ipfs_program (str) Path to ipfs(8) (default /sbin/ipfs). ipfs_flags (str) Empty by default. This variable contains flags passed to the ipfs(8) program. pf_enable (bool) Set to "NO" by default. Setting this to "YES" enables pf(4) packet filtering. Typical usage will require putting pf_enable="YES" into /etc/rc.conf and editing /etc/pf.conf appropriately. device pf builds pf(4) into the kernel. Otherwise it is loaded from a module. pf_rules (str) Path to pf(4) ruleset configuration file (default /etc/pf.conf). pf_program (str) Path to pfctl(8) (default /sbin/pfctl). pf_flags (str) If pf_enable is set to "YES", these flags are passed to the pfctl(8) program when loading the ruleset. pflog_enable (bool) Set to "NO" by default. Setting this to "YES" enables pflogd(8) which logs packtes from the pf(4) packet filter. pflog_logfile (str) If pflog_enable is set to "YES" this controls where pflogd(8) stores the logfile (default /var/log/pflog). Check /etc/newsyslog.conf to adjust logfile rotation for this. pflog_program (str) Path to pflogd(8) (default /sbin/pflogd). pflog_flags (str) Empty by default. This variable contains additional flags passed to the pflogd(8) program. tcp_extensions (bool) Set to "YES" by default. Setting this to "NO" disables certain TCP options as described by RFC 1323. Setting this to "NO" might help remedy such problems with connections as ran- domly hanging or other weird behavior. Some network devices are known to be broken with respect to these options. log_in_vain (int) Set to 0 by default. The sysctl(8) variables, net.inet.tcp.log_in_vain and net.inet.udp.log_in_vain, as de- scribed in tcp(4) and udp(4), are set to the given value. tcp_keepalive (bool) Set to "YES" by default. Setting to "NO" will disable probing idle TCP connections to verify that the peer is still up and reachable. tcp_drop_synfin (bool) Set to "NO" by default. Setting to "YES" will cause the kernel to ignore TCP frames that have both the SYN and FIN flags set. This prevents OS fingerprinting, but may break some legitimate applications. This option is only available if the kernel was built with the TCP_DROP_SYNFIN option. icmp_drop_redirect (bool) Set to "NO" by default. Setting to "YES" will cause the kernel to ignore ICMP REDIRECT packets. Refer to icmp(4) for more information. icmp_log_redirect (bool) Set to "NO" by default. Setting to "YES" will cause the kernel to log ICMP REDIRECT packets. Note that the log mes- sages are not rate-limited, so this option should only be used for troubleshooting networks. Refer to icmp(4) for more infor- mation. icmp_bmcastecho (bool) Set to "YES" to respond to broadcast or multicast ICMP ping packets. Refer to icmp(4) for more information. ip_portrange_first (int) If not set to "NO", this is the first port in the default portrange. Refer to ip(4) for more information. ip_portrange_last (int) If not set to "NO", this is the last port in the default portrange. Refer to ip(4) for more information. network_interfaces (str) Set to the list of network interfaces to configure on this host. For example, if the only network devices in the system are the loopback device (lo0) and a NIC using the ed(4) driver, this could be set to "lo0 ed0". An ifconfig_<interface> variable is also assumed to exist for each value of interface. It is also possible to add IP alias en- tries here in cases where multiple IP addresses registered against a single interface are desired. Assuming that the in- terface in question was ed0, it might look something like this: ifconfig_ed0_alias0="inet 127.0.0.253 netmask 0xffffffff" ifconfig_ed0_alias1="inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff" And so on. For each ifconfig_<interface>_alias<n> entry that is found, its contents are passed to ifconfig(8). Execution stops at the first unsuccessful access, so if something like this is present: ifconfig_ed0_alias0="inet 127.0.0.251 netmask 0xffffffff" ifconfig_ed0_alias1="inet 127.0.0.252 netmask 0xffffffff" ifconfig_ed0_alias2="inet 127.0.0.253 netmask 0xffffffff" ifconfig_ed0_alias4="inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff" Then note that alias4 would not be added since the search would stop with the missing alias3 entry. If the /etc/start_if.<interface> file is present, it is read and executed by the sh(1) interpreter before configuring the interface as specified in the ifconfig_<interface> and ifconfig_<interface>_alias<n> variables. It is possible to bring up an interface with DHCP by setting the ifconfig_<interface> variable to "DHCP". For instance, to initialize the ed0 device via DHCP, it is possible to use some- thing like: ifconfig_ed0="DHCP" It is also possible to rename interface by doing: ifconfig_ed0_name="net0" ifconfig_net0="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffff0000" ipv6_network_interfaces (str) This is the IPv6 equivalent of network_interfaces. In- stead of setting the ifconfig variables as ifconfig_<interface> they should be set as ipv6_ifconfig_<interface>. Aliases should be set as ipv6_ifconfig_<interface>_alias<n>. ipv6_prefix_<interface> does something. Interfaces that do not have a ipv6_ifconfig_<interface> setting will be auto config- ured by rtsol(8) if the ipv6_gateway_enable is set to "NO". Note that the IPv6 networking code does not support the /etc/start_if.<interface> files. ipv6_default_interface (str) If not set to "NO", this is the default output interface for scoped addresses. Now this works only for IPv6 link local multicast addresses. cloned_interfaces (str) Set to the list of clonable network interfaces to create on this host. Entries in cloned_interfaces are automatically appended to network_interfaces for configuration. gif_interfaces (str) Set to the list of gif(4) tunnel interfaces to configure on this host. A gifconfig_<interface> variable is assumed to exist for each value of interface. The value of this variable is used to configure the link layer of the tunnel according to the syntax of the tunnel option to ifconfig(8). Additionally, this option ensures that each listed interface is created via the create option to ifconfig(8) before attempting to configure it. sppp_interfaces (str) Set to the list of sppp(4) interfaces to configure on this host. A spppconfig_<interface> variable is assumed to ex- ist for each value of interface. Each interface should also be configured by a general ifconfig_<interface> setting. Refer to spppcontrol(8) for more information about available options. ppp_enable (bool) If set to "YES", run the ppp(8) daemon. ppp_mode (str) Mode in which to run the ppp(8) daemon. Accepted modes are "auto", "ddial", "direct" and "dedicated". See the manual for a full description. ppp_nat (bool) If set to "YES", enables network address translation. Used in conjunction with gateway_enable allows hosts on private network addresses access to the Internet using this host as a network address translating router. ppp_profile (str) The name of the profile to use from /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. ppp_user (str) The name of the user under which ppp(8) should be started. By default, ppp(8) is started as "root". rc_conf_files (str) This option is used to specify a list of files that will override the settings in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. The files will be read in the order in which they are specified and should in- clude the full path to the file. By default, the files speci- fied are /etc/rc.conf and /etc/rc.conf.local gbde_autoattach_all (bool) If set to "YES", /etc/rc.d/gbde will attempt to automat- ically initialize your .bde devices in /etc/fstab. gbde_devices (str) List the devices that the script should try to attach, or "AUTO". gbde_lockdir (str) The directory where the gbde(4) lockfiles are located. The default lockfile directory is /etc. The lockfile for each individual gbde(4) device can be overrid- den by setting the variable gbde_lock_<device>, where device is the encrypted device without the "/dev/" and ".bde" parts. gbde_attach_attempts (int) Number of times to attempt attaching to a gbde(4) device, i.e., how many times the user is asked for the pass-phrase. Default is 3. gbde_swap_enable (bool) If set to "YES", any .bde swap devices listed in /etc/fstab will be initialized with a random, one-shot key. Note that this makes recovery of kernel dumps impossible. root_rw_mount (bool) Set to "YES" by default. After the file systems are checked at boot time, the root file system is remounted as read-write if this is set to "YES". Diskless systems that mount their root file system from a read-only remote NFS share should set this to "NO" in their rc.conf. fsck_y_enable (bool) If set to "YES", fsck(8) will be run with the -y flag if the initial preen of the file systems fails. background_fsck (bool) If set to "YES", the system will attempt to run fsck(8) in the background where possible. background_fsck_delay (int) The amount of time in seconds to sleep before starting a background fsck(8). It defaults to sixty seconds to allow large applications such as the X server to start before disk I/O bandwidth is monopolized by fsck(8). netfs_types (str) List of file system types that are network-based. This list should generally not be modified by end users. Use extra_netfs_types instead. extra_netfs_types (str) If set to something other than "NO" (the default), this variable extends the list of file system types for which auto- matic mounting at startup by rc(8) should be delayed until the network is initialized. It should contain a whitespace-sepa- rated list of network file system descriptor pairs, each con- sisting of a file system type as passed to mount(8) and a hu- man-readable, one-word description, joined with a colon (`:'). Extending the default list in this way is only necessary when third party file system types are used. syslogd_enable (bool) If set to "YES", run the syslogd(8) daemon. syslogd_program (str) Path to syslogd(8) (default /usr/sbin/syslogd). syslogd_flags (str) If syslogd_enable is set to "YES", these are the flags to pass to syslogd(8). inetd_enable (bool) If set to "YES", run the inetd(8) daemon. inetd_program (str) Path to inetd(8) (default /usr/sbin/inetd). inetd_flags (str) If inetd_enable is set to "YES", these are the flags to pass to inetd(8). named_enable (bool) If set to "YES", run the named(8) daemon. named_program (str) Path to named(8) (default /usr/sbin/named). named_flags (str) If named_enable is set to "YES", these are the flags to pass to named(8). named_pidfile (str) This is the default path to the named(8) daemon's PID file. Change it if you change the location in named.conf(5). named_chrootdir (str) The root directory for a name server run in a chroot(8) environment (default /var/named). If left empty named(8) will not be run in a chroot(8) environment. named_chroot_autoupdate (bool) Set to "NO" to disable automatic update of the chroot(8) environment. named_symlink_enable (bool) Set to "NO" to disable symlinking of daemon's PID file into the chroot(8) environment. kerberos5_server_enable (bool) Set to "YES" to start a Kerberos 5 authentication server at boot time. kerberos5_server (str) If kerberos5_server_enable is set to "YES" this is the path to Kerberos 5 Authentication Server. kadmind5_server_enable (bool) Set to "YES" to start kadmind(8), the Kerberos 5 Admin- istration Daemon; set to "NO" on a slave server. kadmind5_server (str) If kadmind5_server_enable is set to "YES" this is the path to Kerberos 5 Administration Daemon. kpasswdd_server_enable (bool) Set to "YES" to start kpasswdd(8), the Kerberos 5 Pass- word-Changing Daemon; set to "NO" on a slave server. kpasswdd_server (str) If kpasswdd_server_enable is set to "YES" this is the path to Kerberos 5 Password-Changing Daemon. rwhod_enable (bool) If set to "YES", run the rwhod(8) daemon at boot time. rwhod_flags (str) If rwhod_enable is set to "YES", these are the flags to pass to it. amd_enable (bool) If set to "YES", run the amd(8) daemon at boot time. amd_flags (str) If amd_enable is set to "YES", these are the flags to pass to it. See the amd(8) manpage for more information. amd_map_program (str) If set, the specified program is run to get the list of amd(8) maps. For example, if the amd(8) maps are stored in NIS, one can set this to run ypcat(1) to get a list of amd(8) maps from the amd.master NIS map. update_motd (bool) If set to "YES", /etc/motd will be updated at boot time to reflect the kernel release being run. If set to "NO", /etc/motd will not be updated. nfs_client_enable (bool) If set to "YES", run the NFS client daemons at boot time. nfs_access_cache (int) If nfs_client_enable is set to "YES", this can be set to "0" to disable NFS ACCESS RPC caching, or to the number of sec- onds for which NFS ACCESS results should be cached. A value of 2-10 seconds will substantially reduce network traffic for many NFS operations. nfs_server_enable (bool) If set to "YES", run the NFS server daemons at boot time. nfs_server_flags (str) If nfs_server_enable is set to "YES", these are the flags to pass to the nfsd(8) daemon. mountd_enable (bool) If set to "YES", and no nfs_server_enable is set, start mountd(8), but not nfsd(8) daemon. It is commonly needed to run CFS without real NFS used. mountd_flags (str) If mountd_enable is set to "YES", these are the flags to pass to the mountd(8) daemon. weak_mountd_authentication (bool) If set to "YES", allow services like PCNFSD to make non- privileged mount requests. nfs_reserved_port_only (bool) If set to "YES", provide NFS services only on a secure port. nfs_bufpackets (int) If set to a number, indicates the number of packets worth of socket buffer space to reserve on an NFS client. The kernel default is typically 4. Using a higher number may be useful on gigabit networks to improve performance. The minimum value is 2 and the maximum is 64. rpc_lockd_enable (bool) If set to "YES" and also an NFS server, run rpc.lockd(8) at boot time. rpc_statd_enable (bool) If set to "YES" and also an NFS server, run rpc.statd(8) at boot time. rpcbind_program (str) Path to rpcbind(8) (default /usr/sbin/rpcbind). rpcbind_enable (bool) If set to "YES", run the rpcbind(8) service at boot time. rpcbind_flags (str) If rpcbind_enable is set to "YES", these are the flags to pass to the rpcbind(8) daemon. keyserv_enable (bool) If set to "YES", run the keyserv(8) daemon on boot for running Secure RPC. keyserv_flags (str) If keyserv_enable is set to "YES", these are the flags to pass to keyserv(8) daemon. pppoed_enable (bool) If set to "YES", run the pppoed(8) daemon at boot time to provide PPP over Ethernet services. pppoed_provider (str) pppoed(8) listens to requests to this provider and ulti- mately runs ppp(8) with a system argument of the same name. pppoed_flags (str) Additional flags to pass to pppoed(8). pppoed_interface (str) The network interface to run pppoed(8) on. This is mandatory when pppoed_enable is set to "YES". timed_enable (bool) If set to "YES", run the timed(8) service at boot time. This command is intended for networks of machines where a con- sistent "network time" for all hosts must be established. This is often useful in large NFS environments where time stamps on files are expected to be consistent network-wide. timed_flags (str) If timed_enable is set to "YES", these are the flags to pass to the timed(8) service. ntpdate_enable (bool) If set to "YES", run ntpdate(8) at system startup. This command is intended to synchronize the system clock only once from some standard reference. An option to set this up ini- tially (from a list of known servers) is also provided by the sysinstall(8) program when the system is first installed. ntpdate_hosts (str) A whitespace-separated list of NTP servers to synchronize with at startup.

It should also be noted that while this is enabled, any other client of the mouse (such as an X server) should access the mouse through the virtual mouse device, /dev/sysmouse, and con- figure it as a "sysmouse" type mouse, since all mouse data is converted to this single canonical format when using moused(8). If the client program does not support the "sysmouse" type, specify the "mousesystems" type. It is the second preferred type. moused_port (str) If moused_enable is set to "YES", this is the actual port the mouse is on.
