OVERVIEW

This directory contains rc, an init scripts used in conjunction with sysvinit on Zeppe-Lin GNU://Linux distribution.

This distribution is a fork of CRUX init scripts as of version 2.31 (extracted from rc port) with the following differences:

• POSIX sh(1p) instead of bash(1)
• rc(8) and rc.conf(5) manual pages
• optional seedrng(8) for seeding the kernel RNG from seed files
• optional mdadm(1) support to assemble raid volumes
• optional cryptmount(8) support to parse crypttab(5) file by cryptsetup(8)
• save kernel ring buffer info to /var/log/dmesg instead of /var/log/boot
• support specifying boot logging daemon, e.g. bootlogd(8)
• support specifying device manager, instead of udevd(8)
• configurable timeout for screen blanking
• remove rc.fix file
• mount /dev/pts and /dev/shm after /dev
• mount all virtual filesystems without writing in /etc/mtab to support read-only /etc

See git log for further differences.

• https://git.crux.nu/ports/core/src/branch/3.6/rc

REQUIREMENTS

Build time

• POSIX sh(1p), make(1p) and "mandatory utilities"

Runtime

• POSIX sh(1p) and "mandatory utilities"
• sysvinit to execute initscripts and manage runlevels
• util-linux and coreutils
• udevd(8) from eudev/udev/systemd-udevd distribution for dynamic device management OR custom device manager specified via DEVMGR
• sysctl(8) from procps/procps-ng distribution to set kernel variables
• ldconfig(8) from glibc distribution to update shared library links
• hostname(1) from inetutils distribution to configure host name
• depmod(8) from kmod distribution to generate modules.dep and map files

The following dependencies are optional:

• bootlogd(8) from sysvinit distribution to support the boot logging
• setfont(8) and loadkeys(1) from kbd distribution to set system font and keyboard
• seedrng(8) for seeding the kernel random number generator from seed files
• vgscan(8), vgchange(8) and lvm(8) from lvm distribution to create device-mapper device nodes and scan for LVM volume groups
• mdadm(8) from mdadm distribution to look for devices that could form further arrays and try to assemble them
• cryptmount(8) from cryptmount distribution to map/unmap encrypted volumes; requires cryptsetup(8), blkid(8) and mkswap(8)

INSTALL

The shell command make install should install this package.

See config.mk file for configuration parameters.

Next, you need to create and customize /etc/rc.conf and /etc/inittab files. See rc.conf(5) and inittab(5) man pages respectively, and/or Zeppe-Lin rc package for configuration example.

NOTES FOR SBASE/UBASE USERS

• Replace gid=tty by gid=<tty group number> (e.g. tty=5) in rc file, where /dev/pts is mounting. The last time I've seen their mount doesn't support non-numeric arguments.
