For a variable to be found it must exist, so "to exist" is redundant. The last sentence should read, "Routes can be...", not "Routes can prevented...", or better yet, "Prevent a route from being created by prefixing it with a bang (!).". I like this manpage, although, I am not so sure it is wise to have a manpage for rc.conf. rc.conf is well commented, and if there is a manpage, the two will have to be kept in sync with each other. Having the code with the documentation also makes understanding the documentation easier. I suggest either adding to the comments in rc.conf if they are not sufficient, or leaving out of the manpage information that can already be found in rc.conf. -- David Campbell
