Hello, my rc.log is full of lines like:

/etc/rc.conf: line 35: /var/log/rc.log: No such file or directory

... and:
/etc/rc.conf: line 35: /var/log/rc.log: Permission denied

I have these lines in /etc/rc.conf:

rc_logger="YES"
rc_log_path="/var/log/rc.log"

Does anybody know what this means?

What permissions do you have for /var/log/rc.log?  I have 644 owner
root.root.

ajglap gottlieb # ls -l /var/log/rc.log

Does OP have /var on / or is it a separate mount point?
