>Description:
Near the end of /etc/rc, the system goes through each
directory listed in the 'local_startup' rc.conf variable.
It looks for files ending in .sh and executes them (if
they are executable).
The restriction that system startup scripts end in .sh
is silly.
>How-To-Repeat:
Put a perfectly valid startup script that doesn't end in
.sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and reboot. :-)
>Fix:
