Thanks for pointing me in the direction of the problem. Turns out the new
/etc/defaults/rc.conf, and /etc/rc.network don't play nice with each other.

From /etc/defaults.conf

log_in_vain="0"			# >=1 to log connects to ports w/o listeners.

And from /etc/rc.network


	case ${log_in_vain} in
	[Nn][Oo] | '')
		;;
	*)

As you cna see, this results in this feature being enabled, if you don't
have any reference to int in /etc/rc.conf

Thanks again for the pointer.
