Perhaps the stuff at the bottom of defaults/rc.conf needs to be in a seperate file (like read_rc_conf.sh) with another line or 2 to read in defaults/rc.conf first. That way shell scripts needing to parse rc.conf call upon a tool to do it in the same way as C programs are having to. From that point on rc.conf can be key=value pairs only. Would this solve everyones problems or am I overlookign something? Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
