During startup I see these (which explains some of it):

rcorder: could not open /etc/rc.d/apache: No such file or directory
rcorder: could not open /etc/rc.d/authdaemond: No such file or directory
rcorder: could not open /etc/rc.d/courierimap: No such file or directory
rcorder: could not open /etc/rc.d/courierimaps: No such file or directory
rcorder: could not open /etc/rc.d/sasl_pwcheck: No such file or directory
rcorder: could not open /etc/rc.d/saslauthd: No such file or directory

I have no idea what to make of them, though, since I all of the above are symlinks to (existing) files on my /usr partition. I've put in

critical_filesystems_local="/usr"

as I thought that would help, bit it appears not to.
