Actually, if this was the discussion that involved J'org and I, the result was that we agreed it should be started out of /etc/ttys, which is why I committed the change to the default /etc/ttys in FreeBSD. > I switched to this mechanism and have not had a problem since. Starting out of rc.d is *NO* safer than starting out of /etc/ttys, and has the chance of causing problems. By putting it in /etc/ttys, you can immediately see where conflicts would arise since everything else is started out of /etc/ttys.
