 Why should I put it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d ?

Because that is where the system expects to find scripts to 
start up at boot time.

 I think I see a 0.99.5 version in freshports.org. I'll just use that 
 instead.

In the latest quagga port there is already an RC script ready for use. 
It gets installed to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/.

Sorry to butt in ... butt

You came from linux, no?

The reason to put it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d instead of /etc/rc.d is because 
everyting in /etc is managed by the OS.  Everything in /usr/local is managed 
by you.

This is not of particular concern if you intend to just play with the OS and 
never commit to it ... let alone upgrade it, or use it in a production 
environment.  If you don't intend to use it in a production environment then 
put anything you want into /etc.

But if you plan to use the OS the way it was intended, then you will 
understand how an upgrade, and mergemaster, will take days instead of hours, 
because you've monkeyed with stuff in /etc

Pretend it's Windows.  Now ask yourself, do I really need to put this file 
into C:\Windows\System32?  Clearly the answer is ... WHAT ARE YOU DOING 
COMPARING THIS TO WINDOWS

But, clearly, I digress :)
