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

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 :)

Re: custom rc.d script not working
My script is in /etc/rc.d and it executes - only when I login and find
no zebra process... executing it manually starts zebra allright.
Why should I put it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d ?
I think I see a 0.99.5 version in freshports.org. I'll just use that instead.
Thanks ye all for the help...

First, I presume you mean to say that you put the script
in the '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/' directory and not just /etc/rc.d
Secondly, my most frequent error is error with these is to forget
to make them executable. If the script does not have execute
permission, it is ignored.

/etc/rc.conf has zebra_enable="yes"
However it only starts zebra when I execute it manually from
command line. When I boot freebsd, it executes and I see
message in boot screen that zebra is starting, but on login I find
zebra isn't running.
all files in /usr/local/sbin/ for zebra executables are owned by
quagga/quagga user/group.
Once I get this working, I will ofcourse add scripts for ospfd and
bgpd and isisd.. but it beats me why this isn't working...
This is on freebsd 6.2 RC1 i386.
Thanks very much in advance for your help...

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