You obviously refer to parts of the rc.d scripts that look like: case ${OSTYPE} in FreeBSD) ... ;; NetBSD) ... ;; esac These are parts that set up different behavior for the scripts, depending on whether they are run on a NetBSD or a FreeBSD host. FreeBSD and NetBSD have been trying to run the same scripts, without local changes, which makes it easier to track changes from one source tree to the other. The parts that really do need to behave differently depending on the operating system that the scripts run on, are encapsulated in blocks like the one above.
