Maybe service needs to be extended (seriously sysrc ${service}_enable=3D"YE=
S" is
not user friendly) we have service -l that list the services, maybe a servi=
ce
${service} on that create /etc/rc.conf.d/${service} with ${service}_enable=
=3D"YES"
in it and service ${service} off to remove it

maybe service -l could also be extended to show the current status (maybe w=
ith a
-v switch)

but for sure having the service off by default is a good idea :)
