Description NIIMI Satoshi 2006-02-21 07:20:03 UTC 
The example rc.d script in section 6.15 "Starting and stopping
services (rc scripts)" does not work because it uses variables before
set.

Some ports (security/clamsmtp for example) follow the example and fall
in the pit.

Thanks for catching this! I solved the problem a different 
way (see the commit message) in order to make it more clear 
to someone who is not as good at shell scripting as you are.
