Thanks much. > You misunderstood the concept. The concept is (cutted from rc.conf): +--------------------------------------------------------------------- | This is rc.conf - a file full of useful variables that you can set | to change the default startup behavior of your system. You should | not edit this file!

Now your /etc/rc.conf, apart from other, has the following lines: > #!/bin/sh > # > > # This is rc.conf - a file full of useful variables that you can set [...] > rc_conf_files="/etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf.local" [...] > for i in ${rc_conf_files}; do > if [ -f $i ]; then > . $i > fi > done So, you have put it in infinite loop.
