Whatever. The FAQ is just a big HOWTO anyways. It's hardly even an FAQ. It's 
"FREQUENTLY ASKED HOW TO DO SHIT" in OpenBSD. 

But it's the OFFICIAL HOWTO. That's nice isn't it?

The man pages are the only real guide, if you want the most up-to-date. And if 
they fail, the source code is there. None of this helps someone who can't grasp 
rc.conf.local vs. rc.conf.

Why not, there is only one man page per file rather than on linux having
to decipher apropos ouput. Compare sh and openssl man pages on OpenBSD
and linux. Then look at systemds docs and the monstrosity polkit, what
a mess. Unforgiveable for a security management daemon.

The ID line at the top of the config files on OpenBSD (which sysmerge
uses by the way) is also very useful in atleast terms of how often any
file is edited.

I am almost certain the FAQ never recommended anything remotely like
that.

rc.local was the standard way to start non-base daemons until rc.d. you
seem to mix rc.local and rc.conf.local up.

It's obvious that you were not reading FAQ/man pages, because you
modified files which are not supposed to be modified because of

In addition to what others have said it keep your changes easily
identified.

If you put 

. /etc/rc.conf.localbase in rc.conf.local you could seperate out what
you currently have in rc.local wirth rc.conf.localbase having the
override ability in this case.

Personally I don't see why except maybe delegating editing to certain
users. You could just have a section marked by comments in
rc.conf.local

Because rc.conf(8) states that

 "It is advisable to leave rc.conf untouched, and instead create and
 edit a new rc.conf.local file.  Variables set in this file will
 override variables previously set in rc.conf."

and you should always follow official recommandations before 
personal preferences, even if it seem ambiguous?

it's simple:
- read rc.conf(8) for a better understanding
(or study the /etc/rc.conf script and try to figure out what could cause
your sndiod_flags to get lost, after all, if you edit this script you
should also be able to figure out the consequences of your actions, since
it's advised to NOT edit this file)
- (older) aucat_flags could interfere with sndiod_flags but if you haven't
got a rc.conf.local this is probably not your problem
- follow Alexandre's advice

so, just do:

echo 'sndiod_flags=NO' >/etc/rc.conf.local

see rc.conf(5) man page as well.

For instance to avoid merges during upgrade; rc.conf contains the
default configuration, and rc.conf.local contains local changes to
the default configuration.

it can be used for the base system as well.

Generally you don't need to disable sndiod. As long it's not used
it consumes less resources than getty, which we don't disable
either.

Because you should not touch rc.conf; sndiod_flags _must_ be added to 
rc.conf.local.
If you don't understand why, then have a look at the backward compat code in 
/etc/rc.conf.

Also, from rc.conf(8):
"It is advisable to leave rc.conf untouched, and instead create and edit a
new rc.conf.local file."

indeed, it shouldn't start. May be you've multiple sndiod_flags
definitions, or your setting is overriden in rc.conf.local or
whatever else.

Nop, I don't have a rc.conf.local file ..

I use rc.conf.local for daemons or options outside of openbsd soft base ...

Thanks.

What details do you need?? I use this openbsd box as a fw and I wnat ot

Here's a guess: you may have aucat_flags in rc.conf.local that override
your non-standard changes.



But there is not options for aucat_flags under rc.conf ... or maybe I 
only need to put under rc.conf.local aucat_flags=NO??
