man test
-f file True if file exists and is a regular file.
expression1 -a expression2
True if both expression1 and expression2 are true.
So I would read the logic to be ...
If dhcp_flags not eq NO AND the named file exists then do whatever ...
Which means - I think - that you should not have seen the behaviour that you
did.
What EXACTLY did you put in rc.conf, and what did you do after changing it
(i.e. to get it to notice your change?)
And nothing relevant in rc.conf.local?
HTH a bit
