I believe that rc.conf is created at install time so depending on
what options you pick various things gets turned on or off.

On FreeBSD 2.2.x systems, rc.conf reads in rc.conf.local at the end,
so I've always put local mods in rc.conf.local:

	# /etc/rc.conf (at the end)
	##############################################################
	### Allow local configuration override at the very end here ##
	##############################################################
	if [ -f /etc/rc.conf.local ]; then
		. /etc/rc.conf.local
	fi

	# /etc/rc.conf.local
	sendmail_enable="YES"	# Run the sendmail daemon (or NO).
	sendmail_flags="-q30m"  # queue-mode only (running smtpd)
