 You might find that 'netstart' is ignoring 'rc.conf', I had to comment out all
the daemons that I did not want started. I don't know why 'rc.conf' is ignored
and haven't had time to check since I discovered this, due to pressures of work
in whinedoze land  :~(
I may have missed something about this in the mailing list but,
again.....pressures of work!

Watch the boot sequence messages and check if the daemon is started. If it is,
you will see 'routed' mentioned shortly after the 'starting network daemons'
bit.

regards
Dave.
