few points to add/concider:

I share the /usr/local among many machines, so /usr/local/etc/rc.d is becoming
'problematic', rc.conf should be involved in the decission to run xxx.sh 
start/stop

on other platforms, i've modified rc to run rc.`hostname` if such file exists.
this little trick saved the day many times - i would dump|restore the root
partition onto another host, and reboot.

having to manage many hosts, it's becoming important to centralize some of
the configuration data (Nis/Hesiod based info). I configure amd that is
heavely used here, via hesiod.

having experienced rc since V6, i have seen some nice ideas and 01some 
22horrible
99ones, FreeBSD's so far looks the best! true, i haven't seen NetBSD, and i 
will
asap.

my 5cents,
	danny
