There was no problem in my rc.conf.local. My rc.conf was a shell script with a date in the comments from 2103. The one I extracted from etc56.tgz was NOT a shell script and had date 2014 in the comments. Making the appropriate backups, I carefully inspected the two for differences, and saw nothing that looked problematic. So I swapped in the the one I extracted from etc56.tgz into /etc and rebooted. No more closing quote messages. Everything seems to be running normally Upon detailed inspection I think I may have edited rc.conf several months before I upgraded. (This is exactly my second OpenBSD install, as you probably already guessed.) sysmerge didn't show any differences previously AND it doesn't show any differences NOW after I swapped in the one from etc56.tgz No clue why that is. Thanks for your help. (i386 system) -- Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly.
