💖 NETSCRIPT-2.4.CONF 💖

okay bestie, so this is a file formats manual page — it's NETSCRIPT-2.4.CONF(5) if you wanna cite it in a paper or whatever — and it's all about the little config files that run your network. sit down, grab a strawberry, let's go 🍓✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

  • /etc/netscript/network.conf — the interface, firewalling, and QoS configuration file. the main character, honestly 👑
  • /etc/netscript/if.conf — the interface setup shell script file 🦋
  • /etc/netscript/qos.conf — the QoS setup shell script file ✨
  • /etc/netscript/ipfilter.conf — the IP iptables filtering shell script file 🔥

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

ngl this manpage is literally just a place holder until something better gets written once the netscript itself stops changing rapidly. it's giving "we'll fix it later" and we respect the honesty 💅

so here's the tea: please look at the README file in the /etc/netscript directory, and actually READ the configuration files if you need to change them. like, fr fr, read them.

apart from network.conf, all of them contain sh(1) shell script functions — they're there so various things can be altered or hooked in at the right place. cute, right? 🧚

network.conf is the one holding the full network setup details, including special interface setup for the likes of ciped/pppd/wanconfig, and it's fully commented with examples given. she came prepared 💖

💀 BUGS 💀

okay so the author is lazy. direct quote, not me being mean:

"He needs to write btter man pages..."

we said what we said 🙈 (and yes, the typo is staying, it's part of the lore)

and that's a wrap, bestie! this one's from the NETSCRIPT-2.4.CONF(5) era, dated January 16, 2014 — source and version and date all accounted for, no cap. now go read your config files 💜✨
