            Bug ID: 267464
           Summary: periodic 310.accounting enables accounting even if it
                    is disabled in rc.conf
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: iasen.kostov@gmail.com

Even when accounting_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf the periodic
/etc/periodic/daily/310.accounting enables it every day at 3:00. The service
/etc/rc.d/accounting checks for "if checkyesno accounting_enable" but it is
useless because in 310.accouting is used /etc/rc.d/accounting onerotate_log and
"one" forces accounting_enable="YES"
What is the purpose of forcing the accounting with the "one" ? And is there a
way of fixing that other than pulling in /etc/defaults/rc.conf into
310.accounting and checking for accounting_enable="YES" ?

Currently a temporary workaround should be setting daily_accounting_enable="NO"
in /etc/periodic.conf but that bug should be fixed because that behavior is
unexpected (and i don't think it is documented as it is wrong) and servers
should not behave unexpectedly.
