Whether the services are enabled or disabled by default is controlled by $openpkg_rc_def - which is true by default (set in rc.openpkg). When you do _not_ want to enable a service, you can set the service_enable variable to "no" in rc.conf (e.g. apache_enable=no). You can also set openpkg_rc_def to "no" in rc.conf so that all services are disabled by default. Generally, first the %config sections of the rc files are evaluated. Then you can override the settings in rc.conf. Then the commands are executed using the then current settings.
