I had a similar problem about two years ago. One program required
program "X" to load prior to it while program "Y" wanted to load it
after it. It was causing a conflict. It is slightly difficult to explain
in a few words. I had to manually check every file in
the /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory to straighten it out. I believe that
there is a way to have all of that information displayed without going
through that much intervention; however, I do not remember how to do it
at the moment.
Anyway, in the "samba" file, it has this notation:
# PROVIDE: nmbd smbd
I don't know if that makes any difference or not. I have never had to
move the starting order of samba around. I do know that in other
applications, they appear to have their name in the "PROVIDE" line. For
example, from the Postfix script:
# PROVIDE: postfix mail
