I think there's something still quite awry with the new rc.d/localpkg...

>From rc(8):
     o   The scripts within each directory are executed in lexicographical
         order.  If a specific order is required, numbers may be used as a
         prefix to the existing filenames, so for example 100.foo would be
         executed before 200.bar; without the numeric prefixes the opposite
         would be true.

# ls -al /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
total 12
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel   512B Jul 27 08:41 ./
drwxr-xr-x  6 root  wheel   512B Jul 26 14:48 ../
-rwxr-x---  1 root  wheel   181B Mar 30 13:03 000.mysql-client.sh
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   423B Jul 26 17:46 01_dccifd.sh
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   783B Jul 26 17:42 02_clamav-clamd.sh
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   672B Mar 26 11:21 03_amavisd.sh
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    23B Jul 26 14:39 04_postfix.sh ->
/usr/local/sbin/postfix

Yet as far as I can determine, these are not being processed in numerical
order, with amavis being started before clamav, resulting in the system not
coming up properly. Am I missing something here or is my pola at an all time
low ?
