Johan, I quite agree that in the simple but better approach of rc.conf (BSD). However I like the idea of a configurable, directory driven approach to the shutdown. I would be apposed to sysV style rc.d's as I really don't think they provide anything but confusion. At the ISP where I work the BSD model is far easier to maintain. Personally far easier than the solaris, hp-ux, and linux machines we've had in the past....
