Solved /etc/rc: WARNING: $amd_enable is not set properly - see rc.conf(5).

Partly because I use AMD hardware, it took me a few weeks to realise that $amd_enable is not related to AMD.

Is the truncation below – in /var/log/messages – more likely to be a bug in the base system, the port, or both?

Code: 
% grep amd_enable /var/log/messages

syslogd(8)
 
It seems like a typo in rc.conf that causes it to not parse a few variables correctly.
amd(8) is removed from the base system for 13-RELEASE, autofs(5) takes its place.
So if you have any amd_* variables set you can remove them given you run current.

is amd_enable set to something other then yes/no ?

It's not set:

Code: 
% grep -i amd /etc/rc.conf
webcamd_enable="YES"
webcamd_flags="-H"
%

– and I do not want to set it.

KDE Plasma automatic mounting seems to work without autofs. I'm advised that it uses sysutils/bsdisks.

When (today) I noticed, for the first time, a warning for $clamav_clamd_enable, I imagined that the warnings about $amd_enable were somehow the same warning cut short (truncated).

Thanks for the direction to D22466.

I suspect that the problem here was the presence of sysutils/am-utils, which I probably installed long ago (maybe years) whilst clutching at straws with auto-mount problems.

<https://www.freshports.org/devel/kf5-solid/#requiredrun> sysutils/bsdisks is a runtime dependency of devel/kf5-solid.

Code: 
% pkg lock -l
Currently locked packages:
bsdisks-0.26
recoll-1.31.2
%

– the lock of bsdisks is to safeguard a patched installation. This bug is effectively fixed:
Given the stability of bsdisks, this morning I deleted am-utils:

Code: 
% sysrc -f /etc/rc.conf amd_enable
sysrc: unknown variable 'amd_enable'
% man 8 amd
% man -P more 8 amd | grep automatically
       amd - automatically mount file systems
       Amd is a daemon that automatically mounts filesystems whenever a file
       automatically unmounted when they appear to have become quiescent.

It's too soon for me to be certain that deletion will end the $amd_enable warnings (for the next few hours, I'm building an update to the system), if I find the warnings gone I'll mark this topic Solved.



In the meantime I might report a bug for the Japanese manual page.
 
Thanks, now I'm almost certain that am-utils was the problem:
