No as it is usually .conf files that need this info, and those do not source rc.conf. Almost any routing protocol configuration needs access to this data, dhcpd.conf is another one. This particular one, wanting to use names in a name service itself is particularly hard to deal with. -- Rod Grimes rgri...@freebsd.org _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
