I then decided that I would keep the default rc.conf file in /etc/defaults as is, and use a customized file (with all of the real info) in /etc/rc.conf. Well when I did this, I basically could not start the system. After booting, it would hang for a while, then say Out of file descriptors and drop me into the root shell prompt, with nothing mounted except the root fs. It ocurred to me this morning to swap the rc.conf files, and presto, everything worked like a dream. Is this normal behaviour? I thought the /etc/defaults/rc.conf file was supposed to be untouched.
