indeed!  fwiw, i have ulimit -S -n 1024 in my /etc/rc.conf.d/inetd
file, so that inetd can have lots of descriptors open, i've used the
mechanism mentioned above to "wedge" the pkgsrc postfix into the base
system startup, i popped start_cmd=":" into /etc/rc.conf.d/quota (and
others, on occasion) because i don't want quotas checked (i'm not
using them), and i've shimmed bind9 into the base rc.d script with the
same mechanism.

it's really cool.
