https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197152 --- Comment #1 from Jason Mann <jason.mann@gmail.com> --- Examination of the 'load_rc_config' function in /etc/subr reveals that any "rc.d" suffix would be removed from any paths specified in the local_startup parameter. This means that the default local_startup value of /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ would instead result in rc config files being sourced from /usr/local/etc/rc.conf.d/, not /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rc.conf.d/. The wording of the rc.conf(5) man page is misleading regarding this. It states that scripts can be placed in "<dir>/rc.conf.d", where <dir> is the path specified in local_startup. It follows that /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rc.conf.d would be where rc config scripts should be put. I tested this by moving the rc config files from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rc.conf.d/ to /usr/local/etc/rc.conf.d/ and rebooted. Services then started as expected. This bug might be reclassified as a documentation bug if this was the intended behaviour. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
