--- Comment #2 from p5B2E9A8F@t-online.de ---
>These are the results of various required _enable settings missing (or not=
 set >to YES or NO) from /etc/defaults/rc.conf and /etc/rc.conf{,.local}.

In rc.conf there need to be settings different from default.
There is no need for explicit setting "NO" and there should be none.

A utility like service should not generate false warnings. This is extremely
disturbant because administrators try to hunt down those warnings and start=
 a
time consuming research, as these entries occur by random on the first look=
.=20

Warnings in logfiles should not be misleading and they should not be false
warnings. If this is true services does a poor job and this is a bug.

services uses function checkyesno of /etc/rc.subr which issues the warning =
but
on different prerequisite. Obviously service needs its own function for its
purpose.

>The one that doesn't name a setting is particularly worrisome.
Well this most probably is caused by the same problem. This is worrisome and
points to a buggy implementation of service because it does not reveal the
filename of the tested file.
