to 5 minutes. JKH was the one that added the override to amd_flags, but
there was no reason given other to serve as an example of what could be
done.
IPX folks a fighting chance of figuring this out themselves. I can't
work out how to document this carefully in rc.conf(5), but this ought
to close the PR.

Make sysinstall override this on install, so the effective behavioural
change for a newly installed system is null. Overall, this makes a system
with an empty /etc/rc.conf not run any network services, and makes the
FreeBSD-provided network services that are running visible in /etc/rc.conf
(instead of making people look through /etc/defaults/rc.conf to find the
things they need to disable to secure the system.)

NOTE - this has no hope of working if you halt(); you need to

The only change in the default functionality should be that

This protects users who insist on the bad practice of copying
/etc/defaults/rc.conf to /etc/rc.conf from a recursive loop
that exhausts available file descriptors.
Several people have expressed interest in breaking this function
out into its own shell script. Anyone who wants to embark on
such an undertaking would do well to study the attributed PR.

Please install /etc/defaults/pccard.conf and update /etc/defaults/rc.conf

this is no longer the right way to start Vinum unless you are doing some
kind of maintenance, and that's not the sort of thing that would go into
