      <title>Is there somewhere a list with description/explanation of the /etc/ files?</title>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Would like a list with a description/explanation of the /etc/ files - do you know if there is a such?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What I'm looking for is something that would e.g. explain something like:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;***&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; /etc/rc - The /etc/rc file contains commands that the storage system executes at boot time to configure the system. Commands in the /etc/rc file configure the storage system to:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; - Communicate on your network &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; - Use the NIS and DNS services &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; - Save the core dump that might exist if the storage system panicked before it was booted &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;***&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I can of course begin to dig out the information from NOW, sysadmin guide etc., but would safe a LOT of time if such a list already exist.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
