problems with a rc.d script I'm creating

Thanks.

Putting this before anything else butt he #!/bin/sh and the intro
comments "worked" but spat out some errors.
========================================
name=akpop3d
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
load_rc_config ${name}
========================================
[root at legolas /usr/local/etc/rc.d]# ./akpop3d start
set_rcvar: not found
load_rc_config: not found
Starting akpop3d.
========================================


So, I tried putting the `. /etc/rc.subr` before that, but it didn't
even start the server (processed with no errors, and a ps -A showed no
server)


At least I have something that *works* now, even if it spews errors. Thank you.

Also, if you reply, could you please reply-all? Sorry, I have this
list in digest mode due to volume, and I can't do a proper reply that
keeps thread information without having a normal copy.

Thanks,
