Hi Dale,
that was also my the first idea...
(in the meanwhile I found it.)
But the thing is more of magic...its automagic!
One has to do enter this
rc_hotplug="!dhcpd"
into /etc/rc.conf. The "!" stands for "not".
If one would ask me, I also would prefer the ordinary straight
forward way of starting it as any other daemon via the way
you have described. But I am sure that they are higher and
more elaborated thoughts of wisdom which explain, why it is
done the way it is done... ;)
Only my two cents of money...
Best regards,
mcc
