Actually, it's quite a bad idea to modify the rc scripts on Mac OS X.
Instead, create a StartupItem or a launchd job, see:

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/
BPSystemStartup/Articles/DesigningDaemons.html>

I've written numerous Startup Items (they'll work on Tiger & Panther,
but probably not Leopard), so I'll look at doing so for this.
