    Dear subscribers

    I'm slightly confused about enabling an option in rc.conf and the associated
    action? E.g. say that I enable gateway_enable="YES" or maybe
    dhcpd_enable="YES", how does FreeBSD associate this simple line to the
    associated action? I've had a theory that adding e.g. test_enable="YES" to
    rc.conf would trigger the execution of the file /etc/rc.d/test.sh at boot
    time but it seems like this isn't how it's done.

    Any clarification on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards, Ola Theander
