Good idea, but it's probably better to send SIGTERM to the rc script;
I tested sending SIGTERM to init during boot and it seemed to be
ignored for the duration of /etc/rc.

I have committed a fix to the ipfilter and ipsec scripts which send a SIGTERM
to the parent process (i.e, /etc/rc) if $autoboot==yes (i.e, we're going
directly into multiuser).
