/etc/rc.d/sendmail integrates into the new rc system.

To properly use this system, just set the appropriate config variables
in /etc/rc.conf. That hasn't changed.

Doing your own scripts works just like it used to. Either put things
in /etc/rc.local - which is depreciated - or put scripts in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d. The latter scripts need to end in ".sh" and be
executable. They should accept an argument of "start" to start things,
and "stop" to stop things.

I don't know of any docs, and the info I'm using is the shell scripts
proper. You might ask on -current if you want more information than
I've provided.
