The defaults are contained in /etc/defaults/rc.conf and can be overriden in
/etc/rc.conf.  As keramida said, you're not supposed to edit anything in the
defaults, and it's subject to change every time you update your system.

If you're looking for the explanation of an option, the (well-commented)
default sometimes proves more useful than the rc.conf(5) manual.
