1) Put your startup script into SysV init.d form (takes start/stop
arguments). (Actually this is optional since they only ever do the
start run.)
2) Put it in /Library/StartupItems/Racoon/Racoon (Directory and
script name must match.)
3) Create /Library/StartupItems/Racoon/StartupParameters.plist
containing something like:
{
Description = "Racoon";
Provides = ("Racoon");
Requires = ("Network");
OrderPreference = "None";
Messages =
{
start = "Starting Racoon";
stop = "Stopping Racoon";
};
}
You may want to make the description more descriptive. You may want
to list more dependencies in the "Requires" clause, like "Resolver",
or some lower-level IPV6 capability. The Apple supplied stuff goes
in /System/Library/StartupItems, while your additions go in
/Library/StartupItems so you don't have to worry about getting
stomped in an update.
This information comes with no warranty, I've never tried Racoon, and
I may be totally out to lunch, but I did do this to get lpd and
Arla-AFS auto-starting on 10.0 and 10.1 so it just might work. Maybe.
