Hi Paul,

You may be using "REQUIRE: abc" in one script, but have you placed a
corresponding "PROVIDE: abc" in another script?

I also use rcorder to print the order in which my rc.d scripts will be
loaded:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=rcorder&sourceid=opensearch.
Check /etc/rc to see how rcorder is invoked at various times during bootup.

Regards,
Greg
