This is bad advice for 2 reasons. First, the OP stated that he's using
6.1-Stable, which already has the local_startup changes merged, so all
proper rc.d scripts will be run in the same rcorder, whether they are in the
base (/etc/rc.d) or installed in either /usr/local or /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d.

Second, this is bad blanket advice to offer without knowing more about the
situation, as even if it "works," at best it will camouflage the real
problem. In this case, it would not have solved the actual problem anyways.
