Description:

My rc.conf file has "America/Sao Paulo" configured as time zone.
Since it has a space in its name, I think this line from rc.shutdown should enclose it in quotes:

/etc/rc.shutdown (original):
if [ "$TIMEZONE" != "" -a -e /usr/share/zoneinfo/$TIMEZONE ]; then
/bin/rm -f /etc/localtime
/bin/cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/$TIMEZONE /etc/localtime

So I think it should be like:
if [ "$TIMEZONE" != "" -a -e "/usr/share/zoneinfo/$TIMEZONE" ]; then
/bin/rm -f /etc/localtime
/bin/cp "/usr/share/zoneinfo/$TIMEZONE" /etc/localtime

(there has been a recent change in rc.sysinit that added quotes to the time zone)

I have attached a patch for these changes.

Steps to reproduce:
In rc.conf, configure a time zone that has a space in its name, then shutdown your system. An error message appears.
   rc.shutdown.patch (0.5 KiB)
