It is very very simple to configure. Ideally the original problem should be solved too but I ran into the same problem with Kerberos. I didn't get anywhere in the bug report where I argued the system scripts still worked fine except for recent changes in them causing a regression and failure with the port. Both situations could probably use a contributed patch to make an rc script.
