slack.conf(5)							File Formats Manual						     slack.conf(5)

NAME

       slack.conf - configuration file for slack

DESCRIPTION

       The  file  /etc/slack.conf  contains configuration information for slack(8) and its backends.  It should contain one keyword-value pair per
       line, separated by an '=' sign.	Keywords must consist solely of capital letters and underscores.  Values may take any appropriate  format,
       but  must not begin with a space.  Comments start with '#', and all text from the '#' to the end of a line is ignored.  Trailing whitespace
       on lines is ignored.  Empty lines or lines consisting of only whitespace and comments are ignored.

       Valid keywords are:

       SOURCE The master source for slack roles.  It can be in one of four forms:

	      o      /path/to/dir

		     Use a local directory.

	      o      somehost:/path/to/dir

		     Use given directory on a remote host via rsync over SSH.

	      o      rsync://somehost/module

		     Use module on a remote rsyncd server (directly over the network).

	      o      somehost::module

		     Use the rsync daemon protocol over SSH to the given host.	See "USING RSYNC-DAEMON FEATURES VIA A REMOTE-SHELL CONNECTION" in
		     rsync(1)

	      All  forms  of  SOURCE are passed directly to rsync, so you can do things like add "user@" before the host on any remote forms.  For
	      more about what rsync can do, see its manual page, of course.

	      For the last form, however, we do a little magic.  rsync treats the last two forms equivalently, so we overload  the  last  form	by
	      automatically  passing  "-e ssh" to rsync when we see it.  This hack lets us tell slack to use this nice feature of rsync just using
	      the SOURCE config option.

       ROOT   The root filesystem into which to install slack roles.  Usually '/'.

       ROLE_LIST
	      The location of the role list, which lists the roles to be installed by default on each host.

	      This can be a path relative to the source, or can be an entirely separate location if it starts with a slash or a hostname  (option-
	      ally preceeded by user@).

       CACHE  A local cache directory, used as a local mirror of the SOURCE.

       STAGE  A local staging directory, used as an intermediate stage when installing files.

       BACKUP_DIR
	      A directory in which to keep dated backups for rollbacks.

EXAMPLE

       A typical file might look like this:

	 # slack.conf configuration file
	 SOURCE=slack-master:/slack  # source is on a remote
				     # host named "slack-master"
	 ROLE_LIST=slack-master:/roles.conf
	 ROOT=/
	 CACHE=/var/cache/slack
	 STAGE=/var/lib/slack/stage
	 BACKUP_DIR=/var/lib/slack/backups
