    Howdy,

    I am for the most part a newbie to FreeBSD. I am wanting to move some
    config files from their standard location to a single directory and create
    symlinks for each. Doing this will allow me to more easily maintain and
    backup the files.

    dhclient is able to use dhclient.conf when symlink'd. Apache seems to also
    work when httpd.conf is symlink'd.

    Can "/etc/rc.conf" be replaced with a symlink? I have done and the file
    isn't being read/found. Moving the actual file back to /etc fixed the
    problem.

    Thanks,
    -Clay
