Then I would suggest renaming rc.conf to be rc.vars or rc.config-vars or something more appropriate than rc.conf, which like all the other *.conf files is intended for local editing and maintainence. I do like the local overriding feature though. Yesterday I took out all my local rc.conf mods into rc.conf.local and copied in the default /usr/src/etc/rc.conf to /etc. The local mods are much smaller and much more obvious as to what is different from the default setup. -- Parag Patel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
