Hello Luke,

I guess I wouldn't change a thing... I think the current method of 
using /etc/rc to start programs based on information from /etc/rc.conf
works fine. By adding extra config files and directories I think the
administration process for the startup scripts becomes more complex.
At work I use machines running AIX and I find that having to deal with
/etc/inittab, all of the /etc/rc.* scripts and contents of the /etc/rc2.d
directory to be a real pain at times. I really like the simplicity of
NetBSD's startup process.
