The /etc/rctl.conf file is read in when the system goes into multi-user mode to set default contents of the RCTL database. The /etc/rctl.conf is in the format of the rctl(8) command, i.e.
subject:subject-id:resource:action=amount/per

Comments are denoted by a “#” at the beginning of a line. Comments can also exist at the end of a line, as seen in the EXAMPLES section, below.
