Scripts which worked like that would no longer end in .sh as per rc man page description for /etc/rc.d Check out the recent discussions on freebsd-rc mailing list from the archives. If you believe that the new scripts are wrong, I would suggest asking on freebsd-rc. Maybe some ports have been updated in advance or wrongly or something, but I would think that freebsd-rc was the right place to start. --Alex
