Ah right yes. _rc_parse_conf() checks for this indeed. > And in /etc/rc.d/rc.subr the function _rc_parse_conf calls _rc_quirks > which checks `domainname` and /var/yp/binding and if they are set > ypbind_flags becomes ''. Yes.

Yes that was one of the reasons rcctl was born; so you can know the status and flags of your daemons without having to look into several files. Thanks. -- Antoine
