I tried it but am confused by the result.

I modified /usr/local/etc/rc.d/named on my home server as following.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
root at eastasia[1051]# head /usr/local/etc/rc.d/named
#!/bin/sh

# PROVIDE: named
# REQUIRE: NETWORKING ldconfig syslogd
# BEFORE: SERVERS ntpdate
# KEYWORD: shutdown

#
# Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf to enable BIND:
# named_enable (bool):              Run named, the DNS server (or NO).
root at eastasia[1052]#
----------------------------------------------------------------------

And I executed `rcorder /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*`. Then I got
just same result as before the modification.

So I modifed /etc/rc.d/ntpdate as following.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
root at eastasia[1053]# head /etc/rc.d/ntpdate                                                                          ~
#!/bin/sh
#
# $FreeBSD$
#

# PROVIDE: ntpdate
# REQUIRE: NETWORKING syslogd named
# KEYWORD: nojail

. /etc/rc.subr
root at eastasia[1054]#
----------------------------------------------------------------------

But the result still didn't changed.

As I wrote another mail my result of `rcorder -p` is different from
that of Helge Oldach. These oddities may be related.

I'll investigate further but it may take for a while.
