However, you should not change this file directly, but instead add changes to /etc/rc.conf to override settings in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. For example, in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, log_in_vain is set to "NO". To enable log_in_vain, I would add the following line to /etc/rc.conf: log_in_vain="YES" # enable log_in_vain It is my understanding that changes should not be made to /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
