In /usr/src/UPDATING:

20000907:
        Networking defaults have been tightened.  Anybody upgrading
        /etc/defaults/rc.conf needs to add the following lines to
        /etc/rc.conf if they want to have the same setup
        afterwards (unless the variables already are set, of course):
                # Enable network daemons for user convenience.
                inetd_enable="YES"
                portmap_enable="YES"
                sendmail_enable="YES"


And yet /etc/defaults/rc.conf has all three already enabled. The rc files
loads /etc/defaults/rc.conf before looking at /etc/rc.conf, which in a
default install does not exist. Does this mean that the 20000907 entry in
/etc/src/UPDATING was in error? Or was it simply never committed?
