Hi all,
There is a small nuisance I've stumbled upon during my first
experiments with OpenBSD.
Both the man page for rc.conf(8) as well as the official OpenBSD FAQ
(10.3) suggest to avoid editing /etc/rc.conf directly and instead copy
it to /etc/rc.conf.local and edit afterwards. Yet it seems
rc.conf(8) says create and edit a rc.conf.local. Not copy rc.conf.
I'm not sure what the FAQ says but I'd think it would be similar
advice.

Though I looked on a 5.3 system, rc.conf(8) suggests the following:
It is advisable to leave rc.conf untouched, and instead create and edit a
new rc.conf.local file.
That's rather different from creating a copy. From a brief look at CVS,
it's the same for -current.

The FAQ says the same:
We strongly suggest you do not alter /etc/rc.conf itself. Instead,
create or edit the file /etc/rc.conf.local, copy just the lines you
need to change from /etc/rc.conf and adjust them as you like.
rc.conf is gives a good hint as well:
