The rc_quiet knob was introduced to prevent devd spamming the console when starting services that weren't enabled in rc.conf. It was also overloaded to prevent unnecessary boot time clutter on the console. The rationale was that if you set a service to start during boot you don't want a gazillion "bar started" messages to cause the one "Error: foo not started" message that you would really be interested in seeing to scroll out of the screen buffer. It was used for this purpose in several scripts in rc.d, but it caused quite a ruckus at the time (and I was too distracted by other work to continue working on it) so its use was mostly removed from the scripts under /etc/rc.d. It was not intended to mask "error" or "debug" messages. As far as I can tell this discussion affects two groups of people: 1. You didn't configure dhcp on an interface 2. You *thought* you configured an interface for dhcp but it's not getting an address and there is no feedback if you're in group 1 you *don't* want to see a message that says the interface is not configured for dhcp. If you're in group 2 you *do" want to know. So, is it more annoying for those in group 1 to get a message about dhcp not being set every time an interface is started or for those in group 2 to try to start an interface and not get any feedback when dhcp is not enabled? Cheers, Mike.
