You have to roll a script of your own in /usr/local/etc/rc.d that will fire
up the ident2 server at system boot (and kill it when system goes down).
It has to understand 'start' and 'stop' arguments,
so it could be something as simple as:
#!/bin/sh
case $1 in
start)
/usr/local/sbin/ident2
echo -n ' ident2'
;;
stop)
killall -15 ident2 >/dev/null 2>&1
sleep 1
killall -9 ident2 >/dev/null 2>&1
echo -n ' ident2'
esac
Save this to a file called ident2.sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and make it
executable. All the executable *.sh files of this directory will get
picked and run at startup and shutdown time, by the system scripts.
