Can we make something which compares /etc/rc.conf and /etc/default/rc.conf and emits warnings if a variable is set in /etc/rc.conf which isn't in /etc/default/rc.conf? I realize that this is not as simple as extracting all variable names from both files, sorting them, and running diff. There are a few variable names which are variable, for instance the network interface settings. kai `a FreeBSD newbie but hopefully not stupid' -- I like _b_o_t_h kinds of music.
