Is there some generally accepted way of doing this?=20

I'm migrating from a FreeBSD 4.10 server and I learned the hard way
that I had to turn off write caching if I'm using soft updates. But
over there it's just a sysctl, no big deal.

I learned about dkctl on NetBSD. Should I just toss it into rc.local
and be done with it, or is there a more elegant way to do this?
