Mar 13 17:09:58 blizzard ozzmosis: /usr/sbin/service: WARNING: $avahi_dnsconfd_enable is not set properly - see rc.conf(5). "$ is not set properly" looks like a bug, but I'm wondering whether these messages are necessary at all? For example, I don't have growfs_enable set at all in rc.conf, so I'd have thought that /usr/sbin/service would treat this as the same as growfs_enable="NO". Also, "not set properly" does not have the same meaning as "not set", so at the very least the warning is erroneous. Thanks.
