That is the ports I used to install compat4x and compat5x.  However, the
startup scripts aren't anywhere on my system.  I searched for both using
locate (after updating the DB of course) and also checked in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ manually.  Nothing...

I update my ports tree about 2-3 times a day so I would assume I am
using the latest versions of the ports.  Any idea on how I can get those
startup scripts?  I may try a complete remove and then a fresh install.

I look forward to any responses.
