I think an rc.d should be provided. While it may make sense to start
it manually, that's what '/etc/rc.d/iodine onestart' is for; half the
point of rc.d scripts is so the user doesn't have to understand how to
start and stop a program.

I would say that creating the chroot dir and users are sufficiently
normal that MESSAGE is unwarranted.

It sounds like iodine needs a config file to get this from, but that's
an upstream bug.
