 Sorry, this is not correct.
 /usr/local/etc/rc.subr is installed by the rc_subr port. The standard rc
 mechanism on FreeBSD 4 is still "rcOLD" and this is not going to change.

 Yes, since it behaves like an "rcOLD" script on 4.x. This is by design.
 If you need rcNG functionality on 4.x, you need to either expand the
 check for rc.subr in squid.sh yourself or copy rc.subr to /etc. Note
 that squid.sh and other run scripts are only a best effort made by the
 maintainer, if they do not fit your specific needs you should always
 replace them with your own solution.
