   It seems that set_rcvar in /etc/rc.subr checks OSTYPE and checks for
   NetBSD and would set rcvar to something different (without the _enable
   appended)
   p.s. when I said OpenBSD in my first email I ment NetBSD.

Can we change:

rcvar=${name}_enable

to be :

rcvar=`set_rcvar`

so that it would be a good example how to be other OS (OpenBSD)
compatible as well.


OpenBSD doesn't use rcNG.

If that's the accepted way for FreeBSD ports to do it, sure.

If not, then we need to get buy in from our ports guys first - ports guys?
