Towards the top of /etc/default/rc.conf we have, rc_conf_files="/etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf.local" Then way down at the end, for i in ${rc_conf_files}; do if [ -f $i ]; then . $i fi done That is, /etc/default/rc.conf loads in the _customizations_ in /etc/rc.conf over its own defaults. You should never have to touch /etc/defaults/rc.conf _at all._ -- Crist J.
