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. -- Crist J.
