Actually the "named_flags" are now in /etc/default/rc.conf,
so the documentation is incorrect in that we don't say where
"default rc" is. That is, one could assume 'default rc' to mean
the 'rc' that ships with the system. That is how I read it.
However, it *now* means the 'rc' in '/etc/'default'
It's a very minor doc'ing error, I should have caught it.
(Good work. Roelof. :-))
