Hi Crist,

I didn't change anything, here's the directory:
(14:52) mars:~ >ls -la /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
total 7
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel   512 Dec  2 15:42 .
drwxr-xr-x  11 root  wheel  1024 Oct 22 21:37 ..
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root  wheel    50 Oct  7 19:52 000.compat3x.sh
-rwxr-x--x   1 root  wheel   434 Jul 30 16:49 apache.sh
-rwxr-x---   1 root  wheel   332 Jul  8 17:26 mysql-server.sh
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root  wheel   392 Jul 25 22:58 samba.sh.sample
-rwxr-x--x   1 root  wheel   349 Jul  8 18:25 snmpd.sh

All ok

I didn't run mergemaster, I like to perform these steps by hand if possible.
I did put the line local_startup="/usr/local/etc/rc.d" to /etc/rc.conf
This one probably changed, do you know what's best to do next ?
When I run mergemaster I encounter a lot of diffs, is it safe to let it
change just the /etc/rc.conf or is it just a one-liner I can add to it ?
I'm feeling a bit nervous about running mergemaster since I only have a 
limited amount of time and don't want to mess up the box ;-)
