I think we should seriously consider doing this -- /etc/defaults are our (The FreeBSD Project's) defaults and aren't meant to be user tweaked. We install the manpage documenting defaults/rc.conf after all with 'installworld' rather than mergemaster. > Or maybe I'm just completely off track and the real world (!) adds its > own /etc/rc.d/ stuff and modifies /etc/defaults/? Some people do want to *add* things to /etc/rc.d/, but that is "add" not replace. So having 'installworld' install into /etc/rc.d should be OK. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
