Much like the way you do when you change it by hand (you do comment changes, don't you? ;-) I do not thing it is a mistake/bug, rather it is a deliberate design feature. What it lacks is an option that can "compress" it to a "normal" size with no duplicate keys. Which makes me wonder: Couldn't rc.conf get generated by something like a NEWDB map? ------------------------------------ Yiorgos Adamopoulos <adamo@ieee.org> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
