>Description:
Among other ports, I have a standard installation of sysutils/sec on this machine.  Here are the relevant lines in /etc/rc.conf:

sec_enable="YES"
sec_flags="-syslog=daemon -debug=4 -intevents \
    -input=/var/log/auth.log -input=/var/log/maillog"

When I reboot the machine, sec does not start up.  All of my other daemon-based ports start as they should.  There are no error messages concerning sec.

After the machine has booted, I can start sec manually without any problems:

rock# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sec status
sec is not running.
rock# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sec start
Performing sanity check of sec configuration: OK
Starting sec.
SEC (Simple Event Correlator) 2.5.1
Changing working directory to /
Reading configuration from /usr/local/etc/sec.conf
rock# 

I cannot see anything unusual in sec's startup script, yet it consistently is ignored by the rc subsystem at boot time.

>How-To-Repeat:
Install sysutils/sec.  Add "sec_enable=YES" to /etc/rc.conf.  Reboot.  See if sec starts up automatically.
