E.g. say that I enable gateway_enable="YES" or maybe dhcpd_enable="YES", how does FreeBSD associate this simple line to the associated action? I've had a theory that adding e.g. test_enable="YES" to rc.conf would trigger the execution of the file /etc/rc.d/test.sh at boot time but it seems like this isn't how it's done. Any clarification on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Ola Theander
