FeeBSD 5.1 and localdaemons

[Darin]

Thanks to everyone for their tips.. I decided to blow it all away and start
fresh.. 
And, its all working properly now.. Go figure.. No idea what I did the first
time around that would have caused that..
I've been able to get postfix up and running happily so I'll continue from
there..
Thanks again to everyone for the quick responses..

Darin -

It's not supposed to. rc.d/localdaemons is started independently later in
the boot and the output you should see is:
/etc/rc: DEBUG: run_rc_command: evaluating locald_start(). 
Local package initialization:

There must be something non-standard about your installation. This has been
working fine for a long time. In fact, I have mysql server on my workstation
and it comes up with every boot just like it's supposed to. 
Generally, the scripts in/usr/local/etc/rc.d should be executable and they
should end with a '.sh' suffix.

Cheers.
