Hi, hubertf proposed to also include a comment *why* this change would be useful. Currently, you cannot see whether a variable is set or not *and* they produce warnings for unset variables that are expected to be set (in /etc/defaults). The initial argument was this thread: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/2012/07/20/msg006530.html And I think he's right with the assumption that you should be able to switch this warning off without activating the option. This was also filed as misc/46757: http://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=46757 Though this could be fixed by his patch, I would want a discussion about what way is preferred: Should rc (or daily/weekly/monthly) scripts directly check the value of "boolean" variables or not? Regards, Julian
