I think that this script might also fill a void with using Puppet as a
configuration tool. Currently Puppet, as its default behaviour, uses
files in /etc/rc.conf.d to set variables. I've found this approach
really lacking because you cannot do things like:
nfs_server_enable="YES"
via a /etc/rc.conf.d file because multiple things (like lockd, mountd,
nfsd, nfsserver, and statd) all need nfs_server_enable set, as one
example. This script would provide an easy method for puppet to "edit"
lines in /etc/rc.conf.
Consider also the docs that tell the user to
echo 'something_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
which can produce duplicate and possibly differing entries. Or
non-working entries if there was no ending \n present, or even a broken
rc.conf that breaks startup.
