It's all explained in the comments at the top of /etc/rc.conf

Hi all,

I've looked in the handbook (and probably missed the explanation)
but am
still a little confused. What's the difference between these two
rc.conf
files? Both affect things, but what is best practice for their use?

Thank in advance,

August

PS I'm using 4.9 and realize some things may be differnet in 5.x ...
