Hi tech@,
Setting, for example
# rcctl enable nfsd
# rcctl set nfsd flags -tun 4
has no effect on /etc/rc.conf.local. This is also true for other cases
where the default flags for the daemon are equal to the flags you're
trying to set.
It seemed a problem at first, since there is no reference to this
behaviour on the man page. But looking at the source code
(usr.sbin/rcctl/rcctl.sh, r1.105, line 452), this is actually expected.
# unset flags if they match the default enabled ones
[ "${_args}" = "$(svc_getdef ${_svc} ${_var})" ] && \
unset _args
Should this behaviour be on the man page? I don't think it's too obvious
to assume the flags wasn't set on /etc/rc.conf.local because it is
already the default for the daemon.
Having it documented or not, the diff below removes an unneeded step,
since "-tun 4" is already the default for nfsd.
