/etc/rc.conf is really nothing more than an include file for rc in order 
to set variables to user defined values. But there is no check for 
rc.conf to contain only variable assignments.

Every bare command you put there (ifconfig ...), will be executed on 
every invocation of service, which is nothing more than shell script, too.
