Link 'em or symlink 'em. Digital Unix screwed up by putting them in /sbin, but they did this right: /sbin/init.d all scripts /sbin/rc*.d symlinks to init.d/... That gives you one place for finding all the service start/stop stuff (init.d), and you don't go editing rc3.d/S00frog and forget to update rc2.d/K85frog. The init.d directory becomes the one stop shop like /etc/rc[.local], and the rc*.d becomes your toggles like the YES/NO stuff in /etc/sysconfig, and it becomes easier to productise ports and packages that need to start up daemons.
