Interesting! In that case, I lean much more strongly toward removing it, 
possible even in RELENG_5.

Ok, sounds like you're on top of this then. The preferred way to do this 
currently would be to add the script to the files directory, and the 
following to the port Makefile:

USE_RC_SUBR=	ike.sh

There is already some cool stuff in the ports infrastructure to handle these 
scripts. Take a look at databases/mysql323-server if you want an example. 
The current infrastructure already handles things like subbing out PREFIX, 
etc. for you. In the near future the ports infrastructure will be updated to 
then install that file as just ike on systems that are past the MFC date of 
the local_startup changes, and as ike.sh on older systems so it will still 
work.

*sigh* tell me about it. There is no particular hurry to this, but if you 
would please drop me a note when you make this update (just in case I miss 
it) I would appreciate it. Ideally, if we delete the script from /etc/rc.d 
(which is how I'm leaning), then I'd like to have time to do that so that it 
can be MFC'ed before the RELENG_[56] freezes in 6 weeks.

Well, if you use the ones that are there now, it will at least be no worse 
than it is now. :)  I don't know enough about this to be sure exactly what 
the right thing to do is in regards to ordering. As for the other magic 
words, you have to have PROVIDE in there, or rc.d won't recognize it, and if 
this script isn't eligible for running in a jail, then the 'nojail' KEYWORD 
should stay as well.

hth,

Doug
