It's not necessary on 10.x -- you get that setting by default.  Also, if
you've never touched pkg_tools on a new install, you don't need to run
pkg2ng[*].  Just start by installing pkg(8) and then us it to install
whatever else you want installed.

	Cheers,

[*] Although in this case, it will do no harm.  Also you might like the
periodic.conf update you can get by running 'pkg2ng -p'
