 I have written enough programs in my life time to know that what you
 are trying to tell me is wrong.
 The values are in some kind of standard table, the table is scanned
 looking for match.
 No match issue error message.  I put vidcontrol statement in rc.conf
 and it was flagged as error
 because it was native command, so I know it can be done.
 
 I want this  PR's status changed to open and passed on to the people
 reasonable for the rc.conf code.
 This area of code has just been reworked in 5.2 so it's fresh in
 their minds.
 
 Lets point this problem out to the real people who are in the
 position to fix it.
 
 it's not your call to make. You are just front door admin person.
