On my machine /usr is not mounted when rcorder is run at boot time.
So if /etc/pkg points to /usr/pkg/etc/ it would probably be useless
to have rc_rcorder_flags="/etc/pkg/rc.d/*". (It's only useful for
shutdown however.)

No, /usr is probably not mounted when rcorder is run at boot time.

This may be usefull in a NFS environment. And mounting /usr/pkg from
an NFS server is probably only usefull if you have a single platform.
I have independent machines (also a laptop). They have all their own
sudoers.
