/etc
: System Configuration
The /etc
directory on AL2023 contains system-specific configuration.
By default, AL2023 images come with /etc
on the root filesystem
and writable by privileged users.
Note
It is common for applications (including systemd
) to keep default
configuration under /usr
which can be overriden by
placing configuration in /etc
.
For these applications, changing files in /usr
rather
than overriding default configuration in /etc
will likely
result in the changes being overriden when the package is updated.
