138 Part II . Running the Show Table 4-1 (continued) File Description printcap Contains definitions for the printers configured for your computer. (If the printcap file doesn t exist, look for printer information in the /etc/cups directory.) profile Sets system-wide environment and startup programs for all users. This file is read when the user logs in. protocols Sets protocol numbers and names for a variety of Internet services. resolv.conf Identifies the locations of DNS name server computers that are used by TCP/IP to translate Internet host.domain names into IP addresses. (When a Web browser or mail client looks for an Internet site, it checks servers listed in this file to locate the site.) rpc Defines remote procedure call names and numbers. services Defines TCP/IP services and their port assignments. shadow Contains encrypted passwords for users who are defined in the passwd file. (This is viewed as a more secure way to store passwords than the original encrypted password in the passwd file. The passwd file needs to be publicly readable, whereas the shadow file can be unreadable by all but the root user.) shells Lists the shell command-line interpreters (bash, sh, csh, and so on) that are available on the system, as well as their locations. sudoers Sets commands that can be run by users, who may not otherwise have permission to run the command, using the sudo command. In particular, this file is used to provide selected users with root permission. syslog.conf Defines what logging messages are gathered by the syslogd daemon and what files they are stored in. (Typically, log messages are stored in files contained in the /var/log directory.) termcap Lists definitions for character terminals, so that character-based applications know what features are supported by a given terminal. Graphical terminals and applications have made this file obsolete to most people. (Termcap was the BSD UNIX way of storing terminal information; UNIX System V used definitions in /usr/share/terminfo files.) xinetd.conf Contains simple configuration information used by the xinetd daemon process. This file mostly points to the /etc/xinetd.d directory for information about individual services. (Some systems use the inetd.conf file and the inetd daemon instead.)
