>Environment:

	Standard FreeBSD-2.2.6-RELEASE installation.

>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:
