&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;''etc/'' is the place for most configuration files. There are many ''etc/'' directories, and while they function the same, some of these directories are for specific purposes or override other ''etc/'' directories. Most system start up commands and configuration settings go here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==''/etc/''==&lt;br /&gt;
This is where system configuration files go. Most user customizations shouldn't go here, since this can be updated by system processes. This explains why a process may work temporarily after adjusting ''/etc/''. Two such exceptions are the ''fstab'' and ''rc.conf'' files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==''/usr/local/etc/''==&lt;br /&gt;
System customized configurations belong here. These files override ''/etc/'' files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==''/compat/linux/etc/''==&lt;br /&gt;
These are where emulation configuration files belong, when ''/etc/'' doesn't apply to these specific settings.&lt;br /&gt;
