The use of "override" to mean "set an rc.conf variable" sounds strange. I think these uses of that word should be replaced by plain "set" or "set in rc.conf".

No objection to this. The reason I used "override" is because these variables are set in rc.conf, but by libexec/rc/rc.d/virtual_oss, so I guess we technically do have to override them. There is similar wording in the "SERVICE JAILS" section:

Typically this variable is set inside rc scripts, but it can be
overridden in the rc config.

Bump.

I still think "set" is more clear. The documentation describes how to override default configuration by setting rc.conf variables.

christos marked 2 inline comments as done.

Address Mark's comments.
