I threw together a man page for rc.conf based on info gleaned from the Wiki, rc.conf itself, and my own experiences. I offer it up for for adoption into the initscripts package along with comments, critcisms, and rotten tomatoes. The format is asciidoc, which is the same format used by pacman.
If desirable, I'm willing to compile other pages for system config files in a similar manner.
I like the idea of having manpages for this stuff. netcfg(8) already has a manpage, pacman has manpages, etc. and this is in the psuedo-standard asciidoc we've used for a lot of it. Do any of the developers object to adding some documentation to this Arch-specific stuff and having it be built and installed with the relevant packages? It is also a great way for people to get involved that don't feel as confident coding. -Dan

A big +1 from me. It would be good to have a man page for our main configuration file. Allan
