Isn't that just the same as /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ ? I side : with Mr. Dillon, I hope things stay the way they are. No. It isn't. Our current /usr/local/etc/rc.d is a *SUBSET* of what the NetBSD system provides. Right now it is a crap shoot if modules you depend on get started before you or not. The NetBSD system formalizes dependencies and uses them everywhere, not just in the "add on" part of the system.
