>Description:
        In order to setup an srt interface the config utility program 
srtconfig(1) is needed.
        But this program is located in /usr/sbin and /usr is still not mounted 
when the interface configuration is setup by the rc-scripts.
        So it is impossible to initialize srt interfaces during startup due to 
the not available configuration utility program.
>How-To-Repeat:
        setup an ifconfig.srt<x> and try to configure it during boot - the /usr 
is still not mounted and the setup will fail. /usr/sbin7srtconfig is not 
available
>Fix:
        move the srtconfig utility program from /usr/sbin to /sbin.
        All other config utilities (link e.g. pppoectl) are located in /sbin 
too.
