>Originator: Munehiro Matsuda
>Release: FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE i386
>Organization:
KUBOTA Corp. Technology Development Headquarters, Tokyo Japan
>Environment:
Tested with FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE, as of CTM's src-3.0273.gz, on a
NEC VersaProNX.
>Description:
System will fail to boot with ".: Out of file descriptors" error,
if by accident, or by what ever reason, overwriting /etc/rc.conf
with /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
May be reproducable on -current too?
>How-To-Repeat:
# cp /etc/defaults/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf
# reboot
>Fix:
Apply the following patch to etc/defaults/rc.conf, to prevent
recursive includes of rc_conf_files.
