A little bit of "grep"ing around shows:

/sbin/rc1.d/S400set_prvgrp -> /sbin/init.d/set_prvgrp

and

/sbin/init.d/set_prvgrp checks for the existence of /etc/privgroup and
it runs /usr/sbin/setprivgrp using the file if found

Hi!

You are perfectly right: I had been looking only in /etc/rc.config.d!
Still, the manual page setprivgrp(1m) could mention that. Otherwise it makes
little sense to refer to file /etc/privgroup if one may supply any file name
to option "-f". MHO...
