>Description:

sudo (installed via the most recent port) creates the directory
/var/run/sudo;  /etc/rc tries to clean /var/run via

   rm -f /var/run/*

which fails to fully clean the dir, and prints a console message to
that effect.

>How-To-Repeat:

install sudo.  run it once.  reboot.

>Fix:

Here's a diff.
