Hmmm, I'll have to leave it commented, of course, but I suppose that's a reasonable request. > > Xkerberos_server_enable=NO # Run a kerberos master server (or NO). > > kerberos_server_flags="" > kadmind_flags="-n" I think those last two are irrelevant. I can see how they'd be orthogonal, but there really isn't any need to add knobs to things which require no external control inputs. :-) kerberos doesn't appear to take any flags in practical usage and I think -n is about it for kadmind as well. Please correct me if you know of any actual, real-world examples to the contrary! > rwhod_flags="" Same here. If you know of anyone on this planet using a multicasting rwhod, please let me know. ;-) Also understand that it was not my intention to add knobs to anything which ever offered one - these files would be quite a bit larger if I were attempting to be comrehensive rather than growing this thing "organically", as people suggest areas of genuine need. > nfs_client_flags="-n 4" > > > Xnfs_server_enable=NO # This host is an NFS server (or NO). > > mountd_flags="" > nfs_server_flags="-u -t 4" Those are reasonable flags, however, since I can easily see how you might want to play with them on heavily loaded NFS systems. > rpc_lockd_flags="" > rpc_statd_flags="" See first arguments. > > Xmousedtype=NO # See man page for rc.conf(8) for available set tings. > > Xmousedport=/dev/cuaa0 # Set to your mouse port (required if mousetype set) > > Xmousedflags="" # Any additional flags to moused. > Nope, nope, nope. The last three lines are inconsistent. Good eye, thanks. > lpd_enable="YES" > lpd_flags="" Got the first already, will add the second. > savecore_flags="/var/crash" Actually, Joerg tells me that this is deprecated entirely. I need to get the details. > This must be the only server without any possible flags, but I > think it's worth staying consistent: > ibcs2_flags="" See notes at top. :-) Thanks for all the feedback! A fair number of commits came out of it. Jordan
