Martin, I don't think that you understood what I
meant. Either that or I described it incorrectly.

I did modify the rc.d files using BEFORE: and
REQUIRE:. That works just fine. The problem is if one
of those files is updated, the rc.d file is
overwritten resulting in the loss of my customization.
I therefore have to manually edit those files again. I
was trying to find someway to circumvent that
procedure.
