System: NetBSD flamante.local.domain 1.6.1 NetBSD 1.6.1 (FLAMANTE build =
$) #0: Sun Jul 27 23:51:53 MSD 2003 =

>Description:
First, all variables in rc.conf can be controlled in a var=3DYES or =
var=3DNO fashion.
so it can be expected that rc_fast_and_loose=3DNO will turn =
fast_and_loose off.
But it is not so, the behaviour goes against reasonable expectation.

Second, I suppose that it is reasonable to expect at least "native" rc =
scripts i.e. scripts
that are part of NetBSD distribution to work fine with =
rc_fast_and_loose=3DYES.
It is not so.  Script /etc/rc.d/downinterfaces contains line

if [ "x$1" !=3D "xstop" ]; then exit 0; fi

This exit 0 inhibits normal work with rc_fast_and_loose=3DYES
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
maybe consider something like this:
