Excellent! You could also get this "issue" if you have run ypbind, disables it with rcctl without removing the YP domainname and /var/yp/binding/, and then enables it again. : : > > Ok. That figures!

The fact that nfsd_flags= means enabled with default flags which may be found elswhere takes me some time to get used to. (I think I think nfsd_flags=DEFAULT would have surprised me less, also, to use nfsd_flags=' ' for enabled with no flags is a bit ugly albeit rarely needed) > > > rc.subr(8) explains that rc.subr global defaults are overridden by > > /etc/rc.d/ script defaults that are overrriden by /etc/rc.conf.local values. > > But /etc/rc.conf defaults are not mentioned here.

Maybe make a pointer in /etc/rc.conf to rcctl(8) since historically the defaults were found there.
