Control terminal is for job control, and we don't need job control during
/etc/rc's execution, so why don't we change init not to acquire a control
terminal when executing /etc/rc. Then there's no need for the revoke,
syslogd/postfix would be happy, and anything that doesn't daemonize could
also be safely started as a background process. For now, I'll be using
nohup to start rc5des.
