    Actually rc.conf is a file, it doesn't restart. You can `shutdown now`
    which will get you to single user mode and the exit to go in multiuser
    again. Or you can execute the scripts in /etc/rc.d did some changes and
    what to test them (ipfw comes in mind).

    Specifying more precisely what you need would help.
