I have installed the ISC dhcp server on a FreeBSD system and it appears to work so I am trying to get the startup command included in the boot procedures. I followed the same pattern in rc.conf as is used by named and ntpd but nothing happened. The documentation says that rc.conf is not meant to start the daemons but supplies values to the variables used in other scripts like rc.network. I also saw a reference to rc.d and the system kindly creates a rc.d directory in /usr/local/etc. What is the most elegant way to start a daemon that has been added after system installation?
