I should have said this in my last heads up message, sorry for forgetting
about this important detail. The new code tries to run any script in a
local_startup directory (by default /usr/local/etc/rc.d and
/usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d) that has the execute bit set. So, if there is a script
in one of those directories that you don't want run at all, the safest thing
to do is to create a directory within rc.d, and move the script there.
Parsing of these scripts is not a recursive operation. The second safest
thing to do is to remove the execute bit from those scripts.
hth,
Doug
