Hi,
I am using vim-7.1.18.
Everything works fine except the syntax highlighting of rc.conf.
The problem is that vim does no highlighting for the rc.conf but
other .conf files are highlighted es expected.
So I came to the conclusion that the syntax file for .conf would
probably be ok.
I also tried to use vim 6.x and copy the syntax files from a machine
were everything works fine. But the problem did not disappear.
Does anybody have a clou ?

Is it possible that it's something related to your rc.conf?
What does the first line read, "#!/bin/sh"?


No, the first line of /etc/rc.conf starts with the hostname.

If your rc.conf file will start with comment character (#) then syntax highlight will be OK.
