Unless I'm misunderstanding the situation. rc.d/iovctl isn't actually doing anything by default because of iovctl_files="". There is an analogy with rc.d/sysctl which runs by default, with a an empty sysctl.conf file. This also has no explicit enable entry in rc.conf. _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
