I hear your frustration. I was asking about this on Dec. 18, 2004
and I did not get any answers. Look at this:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-December/068425.html
I am still confused about /usr/local/etc/rc.d vs /etc/rc.conf.
Can anyone educate us how this works on FreeBSD 4.10?
I have nothing in rc.conf pertaining to mysql, but the mysql server
starts just fine when I boot my FreeBSD 4.10 stable box?
mysql-server-4.0.21 installed from ports.
