https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D263111 Bug ID: 263111 Summary: Explain *_prepend option in rc.conf(5) man page and in /etc/defaults/rc.conf file Product: Base System Version: 13.1-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: vermaden@interia.pl The *_prepend option is not explained/mentioned in the rc.conf(5) man page while some FreeBSD WiKi pages refer to it. For example https://wiki.freebsd.org/AddressSpaceLayoutRandomization mentio= ns its use to make ntpd(8) work with ASLR enabled: > ntpd_prepend=3D"/usr/bin/proccontrol -m aslr -s disable"=20 Please add that information to the rc.conf(5) man page. Currently only /etc/rc.subr has it: # grep -r _prepend /etc /etc/rc.subr:# ${name}_prepend n Command added before ${command}. /etc/rc.subr: _prepend=3D\$${name}_prepend=20 _login_class=3D\${${name}_login_class:-daemon} \ /etc/rc.subr: if [ -n "$_prepend" ]; then /etc/rc.subr: _doit=3D"$_prepend $_doit" Its not even available in the /etc/defaults/rc.conf file - in which IMHO it should also be mentioned.
