You can't guarantee that /usr/local is on the same filesystem as /etc (and available early in the boot process), and while you can't guarantee that /etc/rc.d/local is also on the same filesytem, it's a lot easier for some people to guarantee. Moreover, many sites may mount /usr read-only, or /usr/local non-suid. > - If the argument is that /usr/local is not available: Okay, but in that > case you won't be able to start the ports anyway, since they are located > somewhere under /usr/local.

It all depends on your particular site configuration and whether or not you use the ports 100% unchanged, including location of configuration files, resources, etc.... -- Brad Knowles, <brad_at_stop.mail-abuse.org> "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 SAGE member since 1995.
