Going back to our old thread of December and January.

I was reading FreeBSD "rc" archives which mentioned NetBSD's chkconfig. So 
I searched and found:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-rc/2006-February/000548.html

And now I see it in NetBSD:

/usr/src/sbin/chkconfig

It even has a man page.

Not installed by default because I assume was never finished.

I haven't looked at it much yet.
