I've been playing with rc_conf_files rc.conf(5) variable
recently, and it turned out to be pretty useless one.
It only works correctly if set in /etc/defaults/rc.conf,
but not in /etc/rc.conf. I've ended up with this solution
for /etc/rc.conf:
location="home"
#location="work"
. /etc/rc.conf.${location}
I suggest that we rename rc_conf_files to _rc_conf_files,
and remove it from the rc.conf(5) manpage, unless someone
has an idea on how to make it actually work.
Cheers,
