>Description:

Some rc options in /etc/rc.conf (and /etc/defaults/rc.conf) have inconsistent
names.  Underscores separate most words (like lpd_enable).  In some cases,
though (such as "defaultrouter"), the underscore has been omitted.  This
subjects sysadmins to potential errors associated with mistyping a keyword.

>How-To-Repeat:

ee /etc/defaults/rc.conf   :-)

>Fix:
	
Change the rc scripts to use consistent naming conventions in keywords.
