true, but the less you modify, the less you have to upgrade.  rc is
defined to be the system startup script.  rc.local is defined to be
the place where you put your stuff.  rc may change between releases,
requiring you to hand upgrade it.  rc.local almost certainly will not.
therefore, add this to your rc.local and you should be okay:

files=`rcorder -s nostart /etc/rc.d/* /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/*`
for file in $files; do
	case "$file" in
	/etc/rc.d/*)
		;;
	*)
		$file start
		;;
	esac
done

putting /etc/rc.d there and then ignoring it all gets the ordering
more proper, and eliminates all the complaints that you get from
rcorder about things being required but not provided (eg DAEMON).
