Usually you put stuff like that in /etc/sysctl.conf. IIRC the key

Looking at the man page, I would think you are correct but I don't
see a example on that setting. I'll have to google for it I guess.
Putting it in rc.conf does work tho. I also used to have to
adjust my fan divisor settings and I did that in rc.conf as well.
IIRC you're using "echo 10 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness". If it were me
if would use vm.swappiness=10 in sysctl since in this case the control
option is available, then fall back to /etc/conf.d/local.start for
"echo 10 >" type stuff if there was no sysctl option.
I googled and found this:
http://www.brunolinux.com/06-Fine_Tuning_Your_System/Swappiness.html
Then I added "vm.swappiness=20" to the sysctl.conf file. I'll check to
make sure it holds that setting when I reboot, whenever that is. I see
no reason why it shouldn't tho since that is the proper place to set it.
So you recall correctly. :-)
