trouble with some startup items

Sun Jul 8 20:37:16 UTC 2007

ive been trying to figure out this problem for a while now.  i have 2 things 
that are having trouble starting.  apcupsd and samba.  i recently noticed, 
that during start up, they are printed more than once to the console (and to 
my /var/log/console.log.  here is the output of my most recent reboot:

also, here is my /etc/rc.conf file.  ive double checked it, and these items 
arent listed twice (not even sure if that would matter if it were).

can anyone give me any guesses as to where i need to take a look as to what 
could be attempting the 2nd starts of these 2 items?  also, simply restarting 
apcupsd will fail, but if i killall apcupsd then start it fresh, it works for 
the duration of my uptime (somehow the pid that stays running gets 
disassociated from the pid file).  samba is similar behavior.  my windows 
computer cannot access the samba, until it is restarted (samba restarts 
normally without any troubles).

any clues at all, would be appreciated.  cheers,
