/dev/console

The console provides the operator interface to the system. The operating system and system utility programs display error messages on the system console.

The console is a logical terminal represented by a text window on the graphics monitor.

The evaluated configuration does not support the option of using a serial terminal.

The device special file /dev/console represents the system console. /dev/console is the slave side of pseudo-tty (see pty(7)).

Special Device File

crw--w--w- (622) root,sys

/dev/klog

The /dev/klog file is the kernel error logging interface. When this device is open, messages printed by the kernel, which normally appear only in the system console window, also are buffered by the klog driver. The messages obtained by reading from this driver are the text of the kernel error messages.

Normally, this device is opened and read by syslogd(1M), the system logging daemon.

Special device file.

crw-r--r-- (644) root,sys

/dev/kmem

/dev/kmem is a special file that is an image of the kernel virtual memory of the computer. It may be used, for example, to examine, and even to patch the system memory.

crw-r----- (640) root,sys

/dev/log

This file is a named pipe that is read by syslogd(1m) as a source of system log messages. If a program writes error messages to /dev/log, syslogd receives the messages and places them in the system log.

Named pipe.

prw-rw-rw- (666) root,sys

/dev/ptc

This file is the master pseudo-terminal.

crw-rw-rw- (666) root,sys

/dev/tty

This file is, in each process, a synonym for the control terminal associated with the process group of that process, if any.

crw-rw-rw- (666) root,sys

/etc/TIMEZONE

TZ=<timezone><hours_from_GMT><daylight_timezone>

-rw-r--r-- (644) root,sys

/etc/capability

This file specifies the system-file editing permissions for each account on your system. This file contains the following information for each account:

The following is a sample capability file:

root:all+eip:all+eip
sysadm:all=:all=
auditor:CAP_AUDIT_WRITE,CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL,CAP_KILL+eip
dbadmin:all=:all=
ernie:all=:CAP_FOWNER,CAP_SETFCAP+eip
casey:all=:all+eip

-rw-r--r-- (644) dbadmin,sys

/etc/cshrc

This file is the prototype .cshrc.

This file contains a sample of C-shell initialization commands. It is used as the default set of commands.

-rwxr-xr-x (755) root,sys

/etc/gettydefs

This file contains information used by getty(1M) to set up the speed and terminal settings for a serial line. This file supplies information on what the login(1) prompt should look like. It also supplies the speed to try next if the user indicates the current speed is not correct by typing a break character.

/etc/passwd

/etc/hosts

This file contains information regarding the known hosts on the network.

IP-address hostname alias[es]

-rw-r--r-- (644) dbadmin,sys

/etc/hosts.equiv

This file contains a list of trusted hosts. When an rlogin(1C), rcp(1C), or rsh(1C) request from a listed host is made, and the initiator of the request is also listed in the /etc/passwd file, no further validity checking is done as long as the login name and user ID number of the user on the remote host are identical to the listing in the local /etc/passwd file. If these conditions are met, rlogin does not prompt for a password, and rcp and rsh complete successfully. So a remote user is “equivalenced” to a local user with the same user name and user ID number when the remote user's hostname is found in hosts.equiv.

/etc/ioctl.syscon

This file defines the state of the console device. When init comes up at boot time, and whenever it switches out of single-user state to normal run states, it sets the ioctl(2) states of the virtual console, /dev/console, to those modes saved in the file /etc/ioctl.syscon. This file is written by init whenever the single-user state is entered.

/etc/inittab
