>Description:
When the package net/bpalogin is installed, the startup script copied from /etc/pkg/etc/rc.d/bpalogin to /etc/rc.d/bpalogin and the system restarted, the script will fail to start up bpalogin properly and connect the system to bigpond.  However, it does work when the script is run manually after the system has booted.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/pkgsrc/net/bpalogin
make install
cp /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/bpalogin /etc/rc.d
reboot
>Fix:
the following patch fixes the problem:
