The reason to put it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d instead of /etc/rc.d is because everyting in /etc is managed by the OS. Everything in /usr/local is managed by you. This is not of particular concern if you intend to just "play" with the OS and never commit to it ... let alone upgrade it, or use it in a production environment. If you don't intend to use it in a production environment then put anything you want into /etc. But if you plan to use the OS the way it was intended, then you will understand how an upgrade, and mergemaster, will take days instead of hours, because you've monkeyed with stuff in /etc Pretend it's Windows. Now ask yourself, "do I really need to put this file into C:\Windows\System32?" Clearly the answer is ... "WHAT ARE YOU DOING COMPARING THIS TO WINDOWS????!!!!" But, clearly, I digress :) lane
