>Description:

At present, users see this:

$ more /etc/rc.conf
# This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf
# please make all changes to this file.

That is misleading some of them.

I suggest is should say:

$ more /etc/rc.conf
# This file (/etc/rc.conf) now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf
# please make all changes to /etc/rc.conf.
