Ahhh -- much better.  :-)


The explanation is here:

 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-rcd.html

    Since the rc.d system is primarily intended to start/stop services
    at system startup/shutdown time, the standard start, stop and
    restart options will only perform their action if the appropriate
    /etc/rc.conf variables are set. For instance the above sshd restart
    command will only work if sshd_enable is set to YES in
    /etc/rc.conf. ...

    mysql_enable=YES

    It is easy to check if a service is enabled in /etc/rc.conf by
    running the appropriate rc.d script with the option rcvar. Thus, an
    administrator can check that sshd is in fact enabled in
    /etc/rc.conf by running:

    # /etc/rc.d/sshd rcvar
    # sshd
    $sshd_enable=YES


Thanks!
