Before you begin: You need to have access to /samples/rc. If you already have /etc/rc, then compare it to /samples/rc and retrofit any new updates.

Perform the following steps to customize /etc/rc.

1. Copy /samples/rc to the /etc/rc file. For example:

   cp /samples/rc  etc/rc

   _______________________________________________________________

2. Edit /etc/profile to add additional entries, such as those for shell commands. For instance, you could add a command to start an installation-supplied daemon. The script can also invoke other scripts such as an rc.tcpip script to start tcp daemons.

   _______________________________________________________________

3. Save the file.

When you are done, you have customized /etc/rc.
