The new mechnism breaks a lot of scripts, which based on the very usefull and good assumption, that sourcing of /etc/defaults/rc.conf also sources all the files specified in rc_conf_files! After the change that a call of source_rc_confs is necessary one has to do a lot of changing in many startup scripts. However it is an unnecessary dependency which could produce many trouble. Is there a goot reason to change this nice behaviour from 3.X to 4.X ? >How-To-Repeat: - >Fix: call source_rc_files in /etc/defaults/rc.conf >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
