# intuitively.conf(5)

Configuration file for intuitively

## NAME

intuitively.conf — Configuration file for intuitively

## Synopsis

intuitively.conf controls how intuitively behaves.

**Example intuitively.conf**

```
[work]
myip = 192.168.1.253
netmask = 255.255.255.0
other_ip = 192.168.1.1 #router
other_ip = 192.168.1.2 = aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff #general server w/ethernet address
default_gw = 192.168.1.1
description = Work
#script = /usr/share/intuitively/work.sh
[home]
myip = 192.168.199.6
netmask = 255.255.255.0
other_ip = 192.168.199.2
other_ip = 192.168.199.3
other_ip = 192.168.199.4
other_mac = bb:cc:dd:ee:00:aa # sets which mac 192.168.199.4 must have
# in order to match this location
default_gw = 192.168.199.4
description = Home
#script = /usr/share/intuitively/home.sh
```

- myip

  The ip address you want for this interface, either on  the form a.b.c.d, or with netmask, like a.b.c.d/e, where e  represents how many bits you want masked off or on the form  fff.ggg.hhh.iii, which allows for strange stuff like having  255.255.243.0 as your netmask (not recommended).

- netmask

  if the netmask isn't set in myip, it must be set  here.  Allowed forms are single digit, specifying how many  bits are to be masked off, or a full ip address whose bits  will be masked off.

- other\_ip

  The ip address of one of the peers you are looking  for.  Good choices include such things as file servers, NIS  servers, routers and other equipment which you are sure that  is always up.  Note that it needs to be on the same LAN,  since ARP requests are normally not routed.  It may also  include the MAC address of the machine, quite useful if you  have multiple networks with overlapping IP addresses

- othermac

  The mac address of the previous other\_ip.  See otherip  for more information.

- defaultlocation

  If this flag is set, this location is used as default location.  That means if none of the descriped location is found, this location   is used. other location matches, this is used. If several locations  are marked with the flag defaultlocation, the first one defined  in the configuration is chosen.

- dontsetip

  If this flag is set, and this location is detected, no  interface configuration is done. You still have to provide  myip, but it may be any ip in the subnet, even an ip  already in use.
