You can drop to ren level 1 using the command init 1.
No, there is no need for such an action. A simple entry as the one
listed in pkg-message is enough to set up webmin for starting at boot
time and run time.

This is true...though not totally clear. The entry in rc.conf
(webmin_enable="YES") is read by the rc script installed by the package
(in this case webmin) in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
(/usr/local/etc/rc.d/webmin.sh)
To start the service provided by the package without rebooting , simply
run the script passing the 'start' action ( call it without any params
to get the full list of supported parameters):
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/webmin.sh start
This will check if webmin_enable="YES" is set in /etc/rc.conf and launch
the service. Nice and neat.
[Sorry forgot to copy the list in]
Thanks I stand corrected.
However this did not work for me for some reason, after installing sasl
authd, however my previously mentioned method did.
Yes, same here for my webmin. I added it to the rc.conf and then tried
to use it and webmin wouldn't work. I rebooted and all was well. Good test
for rebooting remotely anway.
On reboot, each .sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ with +x will be called with
'start' parameter.
If you have a daemon that doesn't provide this setup, it's quite trivial
to copy an existing one and edit for your use.
Rebooting your whole server to start a service is reminiscent of Win32 ;)
HTH,
