Not really; it's a great start, but something like..
if [ -z "$_RC_CONF" ]; then
. /etc/defaults/rc.conf
if type source_rc_confs | fgrep "shell function" > /dev/null; then
source_rc_confs
else
rc_conf_files=${rc_conf_files-'/etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf.local'}
for i in $rc_conf_files; do
if [ -r "$i" ]; then
. "$i"
fi
done
fi
_RC_CONF=1 # just in case..
fi
..would do the trick better :)
G'luck,
Peter
