Are you sure it's not the thing which starts immediately *after* named th=

hanging? Try running:
# rcorder /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*=20
and see what should come next. Note this command shows the order in whic=
h
all of the rc scripts in those directories would run, not just the ones y=
ou have
enabled in rc.conf, so you may well have to skip a few lines until you ge=
t to
something that is enabled.
Cheers,
Matthew
