If you have a problem with the system, you have a much smaller file to deal with. If you have to show someone in a mailing list what your configuration is, it's only a few lines instead of the whole file. But I take it that isn't your beef. it's with the existance of the /etc/defaults/rc.conf file. I see. But at least it's easier having it here so we know what values we can override in rc.conf. cheers. -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary http://www.FreeBSDDiary.com/freebsd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
