While on the topic of consistency, is there any reason why the sourcing
of rc.subr is handeled differently in rc.d scripts?

named9:

. /etc/rc.subr

apache:
if [ -f /etc/rc.subr ]
then
        . /etc/rc.subr
fi

It's not that big of a deal, but it's more noticable since I'm not using
NetBSD. (pkgsrc on Solaris 10 here.) It'd be nice if we could get these
all fixed up.

Thanks,

David
