Not having a script in /etc/rc.d that you need will create an error that is noticeable, and very unlikely to be fatal to the boot. Having a stale script (possibly with the same stale settings in rc.conf[.local] that used to be pertinent), could lead to very messy results. I don't see anything wrong with adding rc.d stuff to the obsolete file list, but it's your call. Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
