Not necessarily. (Mind you, I'm not saying you are _not_, just that that doesn't follow from this :) We have /etc/rc.local for commands you need to run. Now, it _seems_ natural to put commands in /etc/rc.conf, since that file is sourced. It might get to seem less natural if one notes in how many places it is actually sourced. One gets to entertain serious doubts about the wisdom of doing that when one considers the possible need of sourcing it during normal operation, just to get the settings while doing things with one subsystem (like running /etc/rc.d/named restart, for example). But it only breaks down when someone explains that rc.conf is actually a configuration file, and that the configuration is read by the artifact of sourcing it is a mere implementation detail. Alas... what would people think of setting PATH to something non-existent when sourcing rc.conf? -- Daniel C.
