rc.conf.5: note that a negative nice value does not reach a service jail
Raising a process' priority is not permitted inside a jail, and nice(1)
warns and executes the command anyway, so the service comes up at its login
class priority.
Not changing the date, as a commit a moment before this, one changed it
already.
