i probably ought to have added that i've had exactly that
trouble with /etc/rc.conf on FreeBSD, which overrides
/etc/default/rc.conf, which configures /etc/too-many-rc-files
# This is rc.conf - a file full of useful variables that you can set
# to change the default startup behavior of your system. You should
# not edit this file! Put any overrides into one of the ${rc_conf_files}
it has advantages i suppose, especially when each component
comes with its own contribution to /etc/* (except when it's
/usr/local/etc) but in practice i found i needed to
grep for all the instances of each variable that i thought i might
need to change in order to decide whether and how to change it.
tcp_extensions="YES"
really i wanted "MAYBE" or "GOODQUESTION" or "YOUTELLME" or "YOU'RETHECOMPUTER!"
i believe Linux applies fuzzy logic to this sort of thing.
