https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=293360 Bug ID: 293360 Summary: sysrc(8) inconsistencies regarding /etc/rc.conf.d/name and associated flags Product: Base System Version: 14.3-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: moviuro+freebsd@gmail.com On a bare system, sysrc(8) and rc(8) disagree on flag values if those are set in /etc/rc.conf.d/name . Example: # mkdir -p /etc/rc.conf.d # echo 'syslogd_flags="-ss -c"' > /etc/rc.conf.d/syslogd # reboot # sysrc -L|grep -Eo '[^ ]+syslogd' /etc/rc.conf.d/syslogd /usr/local/etc/rc.conf.d/syslogd # pgrep -f -l syslogd 67148 /usr/sbin/syslogd -ss -c # sysrc syslogd_flags syslogd_flags: -s Upon startup, syslogd(8) is correctly started with the flags I setup (-ss -c) but that info isn't shown in sysrc(8), even though `sysrc -L` tells me it will look into `/etc/rc.conf.d/syslogd`. This is also the case for other services I tried. With cron(8), `cron_flags="-m ''"` in /etc/rc.conf.d/cron and syncthing `syncthing_enable="YES"` in /etc/rc.conf.d/syncthing: # sysrc syncthing_enable sysrc: unknown variable 'syncthing_enable' # grep syncthing /var/log/messages Feb 22 10:06:09 st root[49703]: /etc/rc: DEBUG: Sourcing /etc/rc.conf.d/syncthing Feb 22 10:06:09 st root[53372]: /etc/rc: DEBUG: checkyesno: syncthing_enable is set to YES.
