The scripts in 3-6, and 8 are wrong. According to /etc/rc.subr, the
'# PROVIDE: ' is mandatory to detect a rc script:
1884find_local_scripts_new() {
1885 local_rc=''
1886 for dir in ${local_startup}; do
1887 if [ -d "${dir}" ]; then
1888 for file in `grep -l '^# PROVIDE:' ${dir}/* 2>/dev/null`; do
1889 case "$file" in
1890 *.sample) ;;
1891 *) if [ -x "$file" ]; then
1892 local_rc="${local_rc} ${file}"
1893 fi
1894 ;;
1895 esac
1896 done
1897 fi
1898 done
1899}
