Ie. for the openldap21 port the rc file could check for slapd_enable and slapd_flags in /etc/rc.conf. This would make it easier to have port installations in distributed filesystems like AFS. Maybe you have many computers with the same port installation but you only want one to start slapd. It would also make system configuration more coherent. I'm thinking something like, but maybe less complex than, /etc/rc.d in CURRENT. What do you think? -Richard PS. I'm not subscribed so please cc me.
