I am not fond of the new defaults/rc.conf system. Used to be when I wanted to modify something in rc.conf, I opened it up and changed the value. Now I have to extract a line from defaults/rc.conf, put it in rc.conf, and change it -- unless I don't understand the new setup correctly. That makes more work for me, not less. What's the idea here? -- Ben UNIX Systems Engineer, Skunk Group StarMedia Network, Inc. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
