editing the rc.conf

[Charles Ulrich]

Except that the man page for ifconfig will tell you nothing about the
correctness of your entries in rc.conf. For that you have to reboot. Most of
us here can glance at them and say yea or nay, but most new users can't. And
the ifconfig man page is not really newbie material either.
