Hey guys!

Why do we call /etc/rc.local by: (thats from /etc/rc)
# Do traditional (but rather obsolete) rc.local file if it exists.
[ -f /etc/rc.local ] && sh /etc/rc.local
                       ^^^^
and not ". /etc/rc.local"?

In current case we are not able to use any variables from /etc/rc.conf
in /etc/rc.local ... (Which sucks!)

If nobody has any objections, I'll commit this change.

Thanks!
