On 5.2.1-RELEASE-p1, in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, I have scripts that start 
my MySQL database, and that start my Courier-IMAP daemons. When the 
scripts for courier run, one of the first things they do is start 
authdaemond, which should fire up several authdaemond.mysql processes 
and then they start the imap daemons.

On reboot, the imap daemons are running, but the authdaemond.mysql 
processes aren't. If I stop the imap script, and re-run it, everything 
starts up just fine.

I suspect that the database isn't getting started before the imap 
scripts are run. So, I moved the database startup script to /etc/rc.d, 
but on reboot, the database wasn't started. I had hoped moving it to 
/etc/rc.d might start it earlier in the boot process.

Suggestions? TIA.
