PMJI, you've got company!  If I wasn't reading the list, I never would
have guessed that a *package* would be controlled by anything in rc.conf. 


I re-read the man page for rc and rc.conf.  No mention of /usr/pkg/etc. 
The rc.conf page expressly enumerates "the rc.conf variables that may be
set".  No mention of cupsd, of course.  

What am I missing, please?  What is the interaction between rc.conf and
packages, and where can I read about it?  The thirst for knowledge, is she
never slaked?  

Many humble thanks.
