This is the only installed port with a startup item on my system which has
this behavior.[[BR]]
There is a difference with ports like denyhosts or rsync, which also use a
startup item that only gets loaded after the user issues the load
command.[[BR]]
Those two ports use a daemondo wrapper along with a launchd.plist and this
works as the creation message of the launch control script states at
installation.[[BR]]
Except for the difference in using a daemondo support script I'm unable to
come up with a reason why this is happening.
