Description girgen 2000-03-15 00:00:01 UTC 
in /usr/sbin/periodic, the shell script first eat
/etc/defaults/rc.conf and then only if that file does not exist does
it try to read /etc/rc.conf. Isn't /etc/rc.conf supposed to override
/etc/defaults/rc.conf?

Fix: === cd /opt/current/src/usr.sbin/periodic/
=== cvs diff -u periodic.sh

root% tail -6 /etc/defaults/rc.conf
for i in ${rc_conf_files}; do
        if [ -f $i ]; then
                . $i
        fi
done
