See the rc_conf_files variable below. It's a file that has the same format as /etc/rc.conf, so rc.conf(5) should handle both just fine. As long as rc(8) mentions that rc.conf.local exists to override settings in rc.conf I think things are fine the way they are without the need for any additional links. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
