>Description:

This is a followon for ports/117128.  The fix there doesn't work
on boot when the rc.d/racoon script is sourced in /etc/rc.

The reason is that on 4.x startup scripts were executed on boot.
In 5.x and later in run_rc_script in /etc/rc.subr, it is sourced
on boot.

This was not detected on my 4.x-based appliance until we updated
FreeBSD (to something newer than 4.x) recently.

As a result the racoon_create_dirs=NO in rc.d/racoon is not overridden
by a 'yes' setting in rc.conf (because _rc_conf_loaded is true and
thus load_rc_config doesn't override the NO).

Also (a second problem with rc.d/racoon on 5.x+), on boot rc.d scripts
are normally invoked with faststart instead of start, so the test at
the end fails, too.


>How-To-Repeat:

- install ipsec-tools

- rm -rf /var/db/racoon   (or have /var on an mfs)

- add to /etc/rc.conf:
 racoon_enable=yes
 racoon_create_dirs=yes
 rc_debug=yes

- reboot

Observe that you get ...

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/racoon: WARNING: /var/db/racoon is not a directory.

... and racoon does not start.


>Fix:

1) Don't set racoon_create_dirs=NO if it's already set.
2) Create directories on 'faststart' as well as 'start'.
