Question about Ventrilo port at startup

[Miles]

Hi,
 Running 6.1 installed from the most recent .iso CD and sync'd ports 
through CVS, I wish to have the Ventrilo port start up as a daemon upon 
reboot, however, I'm not having any success in having this happen. I did 
some searching with Google and found little information specific to 
FreeBSD for Ventrilo at all, let alone a start up script. The port has 
one, but it seems to not work, rather it is that I do not know how to 
make it work properly. Trying to run it results in it exiting out 
without anything starting.
 Searching the Handbook, I found that section on rc.d, and modifying a 
sample script there I was able to get Ventrilo to start from the script, 
however, it still wouldn't work if I put a line in /etc/rc.conf
ventrilo_enable="YES"
 And this was with the script into /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ as well.
 So what I am wondering is what I am missing and/or supposed to do with 
the script that came with the port given below? If someone could point 
me in the right direction, that would be great. Am I doing things 
correctly with /etc/rc.conf or is there something else I should be 
trying. In the meantime, I'll continue to work on learning shell 
scripting so that I can understand the scripts better.
Thank you,
Miles

P.S. I did send a message to the maintainer, however, have not heard 
back in about 3 days and do not wish to pester him. He may never have 
received the message or might be unavailable.
