Do you actually have the file in /etc/local as the subject of your
email suggests? If so, that's your problem. You want to have rc.conf
and/or rc.conf.local in /etc/ itself. 

Good luck,

Doug

At least as of November 6th, the only rc.conf files are
/etc/defaults/rc.conf, /etc/rc.conf, and /etc/rc.conf.local.  There is no
/etc/local/rc.conf.

OOPs, well this was the problem. That leaves me wondering, why this is on
two places...

Thanks,

/etc/defaults/rc.conf are the defaults -- you should not be editing that
file.  Any settings you want to change to in /etc/rc.conf (which should be
a small file, not a copy of /etc/defaults/rc.conf).
