This is another "I'm stupid" posting..
I was having trouble getting daemons to start up from /etc/rc. I would
boot the system and they weren't running, but I could issue the exact
same command and start the daemon myself.
It turned out that the daemon takes a finite amount of time until it
manages to arrange to catch signals, so if the parent (rc script) dies
before that time, bye bye daemon. Oooops! I added a "sleep 5" to the
end of /etc/rc, and all of a sudden, it works right.
