For me it was a POLA that after I did ``vi /usr/local/etc/rc.d/foo.sh''
the script barfed with "Bad interpreter" on the next reboot. It took me a
while to realize what in the world was wrong. /etc/rc uses `sh' to run
${diskless_mount}, /etc/rc.devfs, and /etc/rc.local (which
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ is the 2nd generation of).
Also note that explicitly /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*.sh is run, not `*', but
`*.sh'. This is so that you can move scripts out of the way. The fact
that `chmod -x' worked, was just an unforeseen side affect.
