Hi,
Did you copy /etc/defaults/rc.conf to /etc/rc.conf?
AFAIK, the idea is to only override settings from /etc/defaults/rc.conf in
/etc/rc.conf. My rc.conf is usually just 10 or 20 lines. Some network config
and enabling some services. Like what you have in /etc/rc.conf.local.
Regards,
Ronald.

Having had a feeling that statically compiling in FIREWALL (ipw) support into
my kernel, I tested by excluding the appropritae lines and adding the
/boot/loader.conf.local line again allow packets by default. Result is the very
same.
Attached you'll find the requested files.
A side note: I do etcupdate on a regular basis on all of the maintained boxes.
Kind regards,
