I have just installed www/squid33 because I wanted to avoid compiling
custom kernel, but apparently it does not shutdown via rc either.

I think we are closer to conclusion that no version of squid can be
controlled with included rc scripts on 10.1-pX. Perhaps users who
install squid on 10.1 should be warned somehow (pkg message or
something).
