I mean exactly that. Initially I have begun looking at rc.conf as a
logical starting point.

Initially I think seeing a rc.d stuck right in right after NETWORKING
would be very interesting to have. Right after NETWORKING is
finished, a program is kicked off that updates a rc file that is then
included after parsing rc.conf.

I am currently wondering if any one else working on this, before I
start digging to much into it. The only LDAP stuff I am finding
on this list has been recently in regards to integration of a ldap nss
module into the base system.
