> I like the idea of having all the "default knobs" in one file. > I recommend /etc/rc.conf.defaults The problem is that this doesn't scale. We (Mike and I) already debated this one back and forth for awhile and decided that quite a few files in /etc were due to be ".defaulted" and if this were kept flat, you'd very quickly wind up with far too much crap in /etc to keep track of. I think people will get used to /etc/defaults fairly quickly, especially as we move more things into there which currently get clobbered by the `make distribute' rule in /usr/src/etc. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
