The /etc/cron.d directory contains administrative files for controlling and monitoring cron activities.
The /etc/cs directory contains one optional file, /etc/cs/auth, used by the Connection Server. It lists authentication schemes associated with a particular host, server, or network tuple. See cs(1Mbnu) for more information.
The /etc/dcu.d directory contains scripts for execution of the Device Configuration Utility (dcu).
The /etc/default directory contains files that assign default values to certain system parameters.
The /etc/dfs directory contains configuration files for remote file sharing.
The /etc/dinit.d directory contains system initialization scripts for the multi-user system states (2 and 3) that can be delayed until after the login processes have been created. It has a purpose similar to that of /etc/init.d, but these scripts are executed in the background while the rest of system startup proceeds.
The /etc/diskmgmt directory contains the type-specific executables for disk management commands like diskadd(1M). Currently the UnixWare kernel only supports the s5dm type.
The /etc/dt directory contains configuration files for the graphical desktop.
The /etc/fonts directory contains graphical font files.
The /etc/fs directory contains font server configuration files.
The /etc/ics directory contains the call services data files.
The /etc/idmap directory contains information used to manage attribute mappings between two machines. For example, a set of group IDs or user IDs from one machine can be mapped to a group ID or user ID on another.
The /etc/idrc.d directory contains system startup scripts installed with kernel modules. They are copied from /etc/conf/rc.d.
The /etc/idsd.d directory contains system shutdown scripts installed with kernel modules. They are copied from /etc/conf/sd.d.
The /etc/inet directory contains Internet networking configuration files.
The /etc/init.d directory contains executable files used in upward and downward transitions among system states. These files are linked to files whose names begin with S (start) or K (stop) in /etc/rcn.d, where n is the appropriate system state. These files are executed by scripts in the /etc/rcn.d directories.
The /etc/inst directory is used for the installation of device drivers. For example, it contains NIC drivers that haven't been installed, but may be later. Some of the files in this directory are left over from the installation mechanism, but are no longer needed.
The /etc/ldap directory contains configuration files for LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) services.
The /etc/lp directory contains the configuration files and interface programs for the LP Print Service.
The /etc/mail directory contains files used in administering the electronic mail system.
This directory contains configuration files for the RPC (Remote Procedure Call) services.

The /etc/opt directory contains startup and configuration files for applications in /opt.
The /etc/ppp.d directory contains files for the PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) client and services.
This directory contains files executed by /sbin/rc0 for transitions to system states 0, 5, and 6. Files in this directory are linked from the /etc/init.d directory and have names beginning with either a K (kill) or an S (start). K indicates scripts run when exiting from these states; S indicates scripts run when entering these states.
This directory contains files executed by /sbin/rc1 for transitions to system state 1. Files in this directory are linked from the /etc/init.d directory. Files with names beginning with K (kill) contain scripts run on exit from (K) system state 1. Those with names beginning with S (start) run when entering (S) system state 1.
This directory contains files executed by /sbin/rc2 for transitions to system state 2 (multi-user state). Files in this directory are linked from the /etc/init.d directory. Files with names beginning with K (kill) contain scripts run on exit from (K) system state 2. Those with names beginning with S (start) run when entering (S) system state 2.
This directory contains files executed by /sbin/rc3 for transitions to system state 3 (networking state). Files in this directory are linked from the /etc/init.d directory. Files with names beginning with K (kill) contain scripts run on exit from (K) system state 3. Those with names beginning with S (start) run when entering (S) system state 3.
The /etc/rc.d directory is maintained for compatibility reasons. The files it formerly contained are now located in /etc/rc2.d.
The /etc/rexec directory contains configuration files for rexec(1bnu).
This directory contains files and subdirectories used by the SAF (Service Access Facility). The following commands in /usr/sbin use /etc/saf subdirectories for data storage and retrieval: nlsadmin, pmadm, and sacadm. The following files are included:
The /etc/scsi directory is the old location of SDI storage device administrative commands. This directory is maintained for compatibility reasons.
This directory contains a subdirectory for audit and a subdirectory for each of the enhanced security features. The subdirectories contain databases that the system uses to enforce its security policy.
This directory is maintained only for compatibility reasons. The files it formerly contained are now located in /etc/rc0.d.
This directory contains the files and directories built when using the useradd(1M) command with the -m argument. All sub-directories and files in this location are copied to the $HOME location for the new user.
These directories contain lock files used to reestablish file and record locks after an NFS server has crashed. See statd(1Mnfs)
The /etc/TZ directory contains timezone definitions.
