well, that's very nice but hardly obvious: I assumed setting 
various options to YES just made them run, not set up things like 
keyfiles. perhaps some one-line comments in rc.conf would be 
helpful: options commented out, of course, but some idea of what 
will happen if they're enabled.

I seem to have missed where a lot of this stuff is documented.
