Ok, I've taken another look at this, and I don't think that part is the 
problem. I installed the webmin port, then tried to run the 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/webmin.sh script. It seems that a few bits are missing, 
at least from what I can see. That script has the following:

pidfile=/var/log/webmin/miniserv.pid
required_dirs=${prefix}/etc/webmin
command=${prefix}/etc/webmin/start

The pidfile location looks bogus, but even if /var/log is the right place 
for this, I don't have a /var/log/webmin directory after installing the 
port. The /usr/local/etc/webmin directory doesn't exist either, and 
therefore the listed command doesn't exist. Therefore, there is no way that 
this boot script could work.

Now I'm not sure what the right answers are here, and if I'm missing some 
important element of the thing, please let me know.

hth,

Doug
