Description Phil Pennock 2000-07-01 15:00:01 UTC

/etc/rc.conf contains _overrides_ to /etc/defaults/rc.conf

/usr/sbin/periodic doesn't read /etc/rc.conf if it could read
/etc/defaults/rc.conf

Fix: Patch src/usr.sbin/periodic/periodic.sh
How-To-Repeat: Read the shell-script - /usr/sbin/periodic

rc.conf is sourced from /etc/defaults/rc.conf already (see
source_rc_confs variable and the routine at the end of
/etc/defaults/rc.conf).
