If you're starting service foo, then you should be able to define command= arguments by setting foo_flags=3D"-a -b -c". This is a convention, and p= articular services may use several more specific variables to build a command line or may simply ignore any flags variable completely, so you'll have to che= ck=20 each case individually. > for example, how does one start sshd using /etc/rc.d/sshd and pass it > '-o X11Forwarding=3Dno' without touching a config file? In this case, setting sshd_flags will work as sshd uses the default rc start function.
