Hi.

In FreeBSD 5.0-Release there is a new rc.d system. So, there are a lot
of rc.* scripts still under /etc/, are these scripts now obsolete? Are
just the ones under /etc/rc.d/ in use? 
And, how about /usr/local/etc/rc.d/? Will third party software like
Apache also started from /etc/rc.d/? 
So, can i erase the rc.* scripts in /etc/?
And, will these "old" scripts sometimes erased automatically?

The other thing is the FreeBSD boot process. 
Init is starting getty and will start the rc scripts. So, does init
start the scripts in /etc/rc.d/ one after another (and what is the
order?), or does init just start /etc/rc and this script will run
/etc/rc.d/ scripts? 

Thanks in advance.
