Actually, this ought to be more like:
	b. if rc.subr does not exist
		1. source /etc/defaults/rc.conf
		2. if the source_rc_confs function exists, execute it
		3. if the source_rc_confs function does not exist,
		   try to emulate it by checking for the files listed
		   in the rc_conf_files variable and sourcing them if
		   they exist.

G'luck,
Peter

This sentence claims to be an Epimenides paradox, but it is lying.
