Something is wrong with rcvar or I am just blatant. For example: 1) Enable powerd in rc.conf # echo 'enable_powerd="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf 2) Launch powerd # /etc/rc.d/powerd start Starting powerd. 3) And stopping it. # /etc/rc.d/powerd stop Stopping powerd. Everything looks fine, but when I disable powerd in rc.conf then problem arise. 1) Disable powerd in rc.conf- comment it out. # enable_powerd="YES" 2) Stop powerd # /etc/rc.d/powerd stop ...silence- nothing in logs either. What? Not even a warning message and powerd is actually running- why I have to reboot to disable it? I know that I can stop it by enabling it in rc.conf but what the point? Same problem when I want to start some service without appropriate line in rc.conf. I'd prefer to see somekind of warning about misconfigured rc.conf or at least information about what's going on in reality. Andrei
