>Description:
the xorp startup file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d has two problems:
1) it contains the wrong path for xorp_rtrmgr
   
   command=/usr/local/rtrmgr/xorp_rtrmgr

   the path is appropriate for a direct installation of xorp from source,
   not one via the FreeBSD ports system.

2) it prevents the OS from starting

   The last command in the startup file runs rtrmgr:

   run_rc_command "$1"

   Unfortunately, xorp_rtrmgr does not run as a daemon, but remains
   in the foreground, so the xorp startup script never finishes (unless
   xorp crashes), and FreeBDS never completes system startup.

>How-To-Repeat:
Install XORP, enable xorp_enable="YES", and see what happens
>Fix:
1) Change the path in /usr/ports/net/xorp/files/xorp.in to reflect the FreeBSD
   ports installation of XORP:

   command=%%PREFIX%%/bin/xorp_rtrmgr

2) force xorp_rtrmgr into the background and divert output into a log file:

   run_rc_command "$1" >> /var/log/xorp.log 2>&1 &
