Appears by the man page, /etc/rc.conf is the recommeneded place, however as
/etc/defaults/rc.conf includes
/etc/rc.conf its all the same in the long run. Use /etc/rc.conf and make
Kutulu smile :P
#man rc.conf
NAME
rc.conf - system configuration information
DESCRIPTION
The file rc.conf contains descriptive information about the local host
name, configuration details for any potential network interfaces and
which services should be started up at system initial boot time. In
new
installations, the rc.conf file is generally initialized by the system
installation utility: /stand/sysinstall.
The purpose of rc.conf is not to run commands or perform system startup
actions directly. Instead, it is included by the various generic
startup
scripts in /etc which conditionalize their internal actions according
to
the settings found there.
The /etc/rc.conf file is included from the file /etc/defaults/rc.conf,
which specifies the default settings for all the available options.
Options need only be specified in /etc/rc.conf when the system adminis-
trator wishes to override these defaults. The file /etc/rc.conf.local
is
used to override settings in /etc/rc.conf for historical reasons. See
the ``rc_conf_files'' option below.
