The reason the two cases behave differently is that during boot
the initial call to load_rc_config in /etc/rc causes /etc/rc.conf
to be read and there after the fact that it's read it cached.
/etc/rc.conf.d/"$name" will be read, but I doubt there are many users
of that feature. The variables need to be set if and only if they are
unset after load_rc_config is run like so:
load_rc_config ${name}
foo_enable=3D${foo_enable-NO}
run_rc_command "$1"
Someone (mtm IIRC) told me to use the -NO as opposed to the :-NO syntax
because empty, but defined values should not be overridden. I believe
that is the correct thing to do.
