Not true, as seen in the comment at the top of the file: # This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf # please make all changes to this file. Thus, you add lines to this file to override the defaults. For example: network_interfaces="lo0 xl0" Its a little odd (IMHO), since one has to run through the contents of /etc/defaults/rc.conf to figure out what needs to be changed. Then place the new statements in /etc/rc.conf. But in fairness you aren't going to be doing this more than once.
