Correct and the same for other BSDs

IIRC, at one time BSD had just 1 large rc.  Then the NetBSD
people came up with the current BSD init using rc.conf.  The
other BSDs adapted and in some cases updated it for their own
use.

I admit my memory could be "suspect", but I remember seeing a
NetBSD pdf describing the move to the current rc setup.
I never saved it :(
