login.conf

nortonham

Netbsd users, what's in your login.conf? Asking so I can get an idea of what I can do with it .

edited: and sysctl.conf as well. I'm trying to see what's possible with net and get the most out of my hardware

nortonham Refer to standard man pages, https://man.netbsd.org/

sysctl.conf:

ddb.onpanic?=1
vm.swap_encrypt=1
kern.maxfiles=8192
kern.ipc.shm_use_phys=1
security.models.extensions.usermount=1
security.models.extensions.user_set_cpu_affinity=1
hw.audio0.multiuser=1

kern.maxfiles being bumped is necessary to run large applications (Firefox), NetBSD 10 will come with a much increased default though. kern.ipc.shm_use_phys may or may not be helpful. security.models.extensions.* determine whether some commands (schedctl, mount) work as non-root. hw.audio0.multiuser is necessary to run some daemons that play audio as a different user (musicpd).
