Even though /etc/rc.conf is a shell script (i. e., it is
being sourced by other shell scripts), it should only
contain the variable declarations. The entry

	local_unbound_enable="YES"

should be sufficient to start unbound at system startup
automatically.

This entry is a requirement also for manually starting
unbound after the system has been started, with the command

	# service local_unbound start

as you've correctly mentioned.
