Take a look at /usr/local/etc/rc.d/svscan.sh.sample 

1. SVDIR=/var/service/ - so svscan will look at /var/service and not
/service; either do:
a) what is suggested and use /var/services (e.g. ln -s /etc/dnscache
/var/service) or 
b) change SVDIR=/var/service/ to SVDIR=/service/

I would use a); also note that creating the log file in /etc/dnscache is
IMHO a bad idea.
 

I'm not disagreeing, but the original post complained of something being 
wrong in some documentation. Most reference and tutorial pages for 
djbdns and other djb stuff like qmail assume a /service directory, 
rather than /var/service. Using /var/service does seem more logical, but 
can be a source of confusion, especially if people are copying and 
pasting commands from online instructions, something the various 
references often suggest.

2. 
# cp /usr/local/etc/rc.d/svscan.sh.sample /usr/local/etc/rc.d/svscan.sh
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/svscan.sh start
# svstatus /var/services/dnscache
# svstatus /var/services/dnscache/log
# dnsip www.freebsd.org
 

Shouldn't it be:

# svstat /var/service/dnscache

etc?
