there is still a problem, that is, mixing /etc/rc.d and /usr/local/etc/rc.d
startup scripts whenever it is needed.
for example, I use mimedefang, and instead of moving
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mimedefang.sh
to /etc/rc.d, I restart sendmail after mimedefang has been started using a
home made script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d.
however, since not all local startup script have not been converted to rc.subr,
it is not yet possible to do something like rcorder /etc/rc.d
/usr/local/etc/rc.d
from /etc/rc, but should be the target to be reached, IMHO.
