What does everyone think about using this at the end of
/etc/defaults/rc.conf?

for i in ${rc_conf_files}; do
    if [ $0 != $i ]; then
         if [ -f $i ]; then
                 . $i
         fi
    else
        echo "Error: $0 isn't allowed to re-load $i."
        echo "Error: Please do not copy /etc/defaults/rc.conf to
/etc/rc.conf"
    fi
done

If someone does copy the /etc/defaults/rc.conf to /etc/rc.conf, /etc/rc.conf
will not reload it's self, thus it will never get stuck in an endless loop.
