NAME
fam.conf - The File Alteration Monitor (FAM) configuration file SYNOPSIS
In addition to its command line options, famd's behavior can also be controlled through its configuration file. By default, this is /etc/fam.conf. The -c command line option can be used to specify an alternate file. FILE FORMAT
Configuration lines are in the format option=value. Lines beginning with # or ! are ignored. famd recognizes the following options: insecure_compatibility If set to true, this disables authentication and reduces access security as described under SECURITY below. This is false by default. Setting this option to true is the same as using the -C command line option. untrusted_user This is the user name or UID of the user account which famd will use for unauthenticated clients. If a file can't be stated by this user, famd will not tell unauthenticated clients about the file's existence. If an untrusted user is not given in the configuration file, famd will write an error message to the system log and terminate. local_only If set to true, famd will ignore requests from remote famds. This is false by default. Setting this option to true is the same as using the -L command line option. This option is ignored if famd is started by inetd. idle_timeout This is the time in seconds that famd will wait before exiting after its last client disconnects. The default is 5 seconds. This option is overridden by the -T command line option. nfs_polling_interval This is the interval in seconds between polling files over an NFS filesystem. The default is 6 seconds. This option is overridden by the -t command line option. xtab_verification If set to true, famd will check the list of exported filesystems when remote requests are received to verify that the requests fall on filesystems which are exported to the requesting hosts. This is true by default. If this option is set to false, famd will service remote requests without attempting to perform the verification. If the local_only configuration option or -L command line option is used, xtab_verification has no effect. detect_readonly_filesystems If set to true, famd will try to detect read-only filesystems. Such filesystems are assumed to never change. This is false by default. Setting this option to true is the same as using the -r command line option. SEE ALSO

NAME
approx.conf - configuration file for approx proxy server SYNOPSIS
/etc/approx/approx.conf DESCRIPTION
Each non-blank line of the configuration file should contain a name/value pair, separated by white space. Comments start with a "#" char- acter and continue to the end of the line. Names that begin with the "$" character are reserved for use as configuration parameters. The following parameters are currently defined: $cache Specifies the location of the approx cache directory (default: /var/cache/approx). It and all its subdirectories must be owned by the approx server (see also the $user and $group parameters, below.) $interval Specifies the time in minutes after which a cached file will be considered too old to deliver without first checking with the remote repository for a newer version (default: 60) $max_rate Specifies the maximum download rate from remote repositories, in bytes per second (default: unlimited). The value may be suffixed with "K", "M", or "G" to indicate kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes per second, respectively. $max_redirects Specifies the maximum number of HTTP redirections that will be followed when downloading a remote file (default: 5) $user, $group Specifies the user and group that owns the files in the approx cache (default: approx) $syslog Specifies the syslog(3) facility to use when logging (default: daemon) $pdiffs Specifies whether to support IndexFile diffs (default: true) $offline Specifies whether to deliver (possibly out-of-date) cached files when they cannot be downloaded from remote repositories (default: false) $max_wait Specifies how many seconds an approx(8) process will wait for a concurrent download of a file to complete, before attempting to download the file itself (default: 10) $verbose Specifies whether informational messages should be printed in the log (default: false) $debug Specifies whether debugging messages should be printed in the log (default: false) The other name/value pairs are used to map distribution names to remote repositories. For example, debian http://ftp.debian.org/debian security http://security.debian.org TCP PORT NUMBER
The port on which approx(8) listens is not specified in this file, but in /etc/inetd.conf. The default value is 9999, for compatibility with apt-proxy(8), but it may be changed by running the command dpkg-reconfigure approx SEE ALSO
