While putting *local* (e.g. not belonging to a port) scripts into rc.local is reasonable on -STABLE and -CURRENT, ports should *not* put scripts in /etc/rc.d. I did this once in an attempt to have OpenLDAP start early, hoping for this issue to be resolved fast with PR 56736, but I seems there is no progress on this one. Sigh. Anyway, although I believe it is legal for a user to put his own scripts into /etc/rc.d, mergemaster(8) will complain when it finds them, see PR 64476. -Oliver
