I was wondering (yet another newbie question here) how people started mimedefang on freebsd 5.2.x ?
Assuming mimedefang.sh and sendmail.sh you are good to go.
man rc.d:
o The scripts within each directory are executed in
lexicographical
order.
This is entirely true in the 4.x releases; the 5.x use rcNG.
Technically, you are correct for 5.x as well -- 5.x rc scripts are also executed in lexicographical order if there are no other controls (for backwards compatibility). While this happens to solve this instance of the problem (because mimedefang precedes sendmail lexicographically), this is a coincidence. The "right" way, IMO, is to use the rcNG dependency mechanism -- that's what it's there for.
