https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197152 Bug ID: 197152 Summary: rc(8) config files under /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rc.conf.d/ are not sourced at startup Product: Base System Version: 10.1-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: conf Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: jason.mann@gmail.com OVERVIEW: The rc.conf(5) man page states the following: "In addition to /etc/rc.conf.local you can also place smaller configuration files for each rc(8) script in the /etc/rc.conf.d directory or <dir>/rc.conf.d directories specified in local_startup, which will be included by the load_rc_config function." I have successfully split the contents of my /etc/rc.conf file into multiple files under /etc/rc.conf.d/ and these are all sourced and correctly acted upon at system startup. However, if I relocate the port/package specific files to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rc.conf.d/, but they are not acted upon at startup. The default value of local_startup is "/usr/local/etc/rc.d", as defined in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. This departs from the expected behaviour as described in rc.conf(5). STEPS TO REPRODUCE: - Relocate a working rc config file from /etc/rc.conf.d/ to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rc.conf.d/ - Reboot the system. - Verify whether the service in question starts on boot. ACTUAL RESULTS: - Service is not started at system startup. EXPECTED RESULTS: - Service should be started at system startup. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: I tested this on my system with the openntpd and dnsmasq packages. Both started fine when their rc config files were under /etc/rc.conf.d/. Neither started when those files were moved to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rc.conf.d/. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
