The /etc/sysconfig/autofs file defines custom options for the automatic mounting ofdevices. This file controls the operation of the automount daemons, which automatically mountfile systems when you use them and unmount them after a period of inactivity. File systems caninclude network file systems, CD-ROMs, diskettes, and other media.The /etc/sysconfig/autofs file may contain the following:• LOCALOPTIONS="", where "" is a string for defining machine specificautomount rules. The default value is an empty string ("").• DAEMONOPTIONS="", where "" is the timeout length in seconds beforeunmounting the device. The default value is 60 seconds ("--timeout=60").• UNDERSCORETODOT=, where is a binary value that controls whether to convertunderscores in file names into dots. For example, auto_home to auto.home and auto_mnt toauto.mnt. The default value is 1 (true).• DISABLE_DIRECT=, where is a binary value that controls whether to disabledirect mount support, as the Linux implementation does not conform to the SunMicrosystems' automounter behavior. The default value is 1 (true), and allows forcompatibility with the Sun automounter options specification syntax.1.6. /etc/sysconfig/clockThe /etc/sysconfig/clock file controls the interpretation of values read from the systemhardware clock.The correct values are:• UTC=, where is one of the following boolean values:• true or yes — The hardware clock is set to Universal Time.• false or no — The hardware clock is set to local time.• ARC=, where is the following:• true or yes — The ARC console's 42-year time offset is in effect. This setting is only forARC- or AlphaBIOS-based Alpha systems.• false or no — This value indicates that the normal UNIX epoch is in use.• SRM=, where is the following:• true or yes — The SRM console's 1900 epoch is in effect. This setting is only forSRM-based Alpha systems.• false or no — This value indicates that the normal UNIX epoch is in use.Chapter 4. The sysconfig Dire...34
