>Description:
The three init script /etc/rc.d/lkm[123] all run `/etc/rc.d/sysdb
devdb' on startup. They all run it in subshells - this causes
/etc/rc.conf being read multitple times even if $_rc_conf_loaded is
set to `true'.
>How-To-Repeat:
Set lkm=YES, add e.g. an echo statement to /etc/rc.conf, and wonder
why it is output several times...
>Fix:
