The files start_if.${ifn} depend on rc.d/network1 and ${ifconfig_*} variables, and rc(8) manpage should not be specific for a certain rc.d/ script. So I think rc.conf(5) is a better place. JFYI, NetBSD's counterpart of rc.conf(5) includes a description of /etc/ifconfig.xxN. -- | Hiroki SATO / To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
