You put commands in rc.conf, huh? Don't do that.
$ man rc.conf
...
The purpose of rc.conf is not to run commands or perform system startup
actions directly. Instead, it is included by the various generic startup
scripts in /etc which conditionalize their internal actions according to
the settings found there.
The periodic(8) command sources rc.conf for the settings within it.
