>rc.conf is just a script that sets a bunch of environment variables for
the
>/etc/rc.d/* scripts to use.  The order the variables are set in that
file
>does not matter.  If you want your script to run after network
interfaces
>are set up, you'll want to add a "REQUIRE: NETWORKING" line.  See the
>rc and rcorder manpages for more info, and take a look at the files in
>/etc/rc.d/ for examples.

Okay, thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for. I'll check the man
page for these.
