From 8287372cd60ac4167ba00610f1ad604808a1d9d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Gundersen Date: Mon, 26 Dec 2011 13:33:43 +0100 Subject: tweaked the default rc.conf a bit Many env vars in rc.conf can stay unset in most cases, make this clear by keeping them empty by default and recommend keeping them like that if possible.
