... is a description that is out of date by coming up to 2 decades. Mewburn rc came along at the start of the 21st century.

- dredmorbius 9y agoI haven't messed with OpenBSD for quite some time, but how I described it is actually how it functioned, as I recall. That's ... over a decade out of date. Re-pitching my comment at that specific configuration: it wasn't elegant, but it could be coerced to do what I wanted.
- JdeBP 9y agoOpenBSD doesn't work like that, either. The OpenBSD people reinvented Mewburn rc just over six years ago. None of FreeBSD, TrueOS/PC-BSD, FreeNAS, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly BSD have a single rc file containing everything. With the sole exception of MirOS BSD as far as I am aware, the world has actually let go of that idea.
