Bash – System-wide bashrc on FreeBSD

bashfreebsdport

On linux there's usually a global bashrc file (/etc/bash.bashrc or /etc/bashrc). On FreeBSD however bash doesn't seem to support this feature. What's the best way to add a system-wide bashrc then?

You can try with strings and see which paths are included in the binary.

Anyway, in RHEL5 the only system-wide config file for bash is /etc/profile and there is no /etc/bashrc nor others.

FreeBSD performance tuning: Sysctl parameter, loader.conf, kernel

I'd recommend against options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT. The default is to Default to Deny. The firewall comes up with just one rule deny ip from any to any and stays that way until a script configures exactly what traffic should get through.

Follow-Up Note: RSA (one of the world's leading security technology companies) was hacked recently when part of their firewall was disabled during a maintenance window. This really underscores how quickly a system can be compromised given the right conditions.

If you insist on disabling the firewall until you explicitly block unwanted traffic, please consider using the sysctl available by adding net.inet.ip.fw.default_to_accept=1 to loader.conf. This has the added benefit of being easily modified (no recompiling the kernel) if you change your mind at some point in the future.

Bash – Freebsd doesn’t show command output correctly in Putty

Try using the -w option:

From the MAN page:

 -w      Use 132 columns to display information, instead of the default which is your
         window size.  If the -w option is specified more than once, ps will use as
         many columns as necessary without regard for your window size.  When output
         is not to a terminal, an unlimited number of columns are always used.
