            Bug ID: 282690
           Summary: Authentication prompt blocks completion of rc scripts
                    sequence
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jospjansen@gmail.com

If a tailscale key has expired, the start script for the tailscale daemon will
issue an authentication prompt and wait forever. This means that not all
rc.conf scripts will run, including, most emphatically, the sshd start script
(and, if installed, saltstack, which has a useful cmd.run backdoor :))

A console login is required to sort this, which may be inconvenient. 

Workarounds:

1) disable key expiry (not necessarily wise)
2) remove the tailscale stuff from rc.conf and create a startscript at the end
of rc.local
