   <ul>
    <li>OpenBSD does NOT use /usr/local/etc/rc.d.<br>
-       <code>/usr/local</code> is often NFS mounted; shared between
-       machines in a cluster.  For this reason per machine configuration
-       files are places in <code>/etc</code>.
+       <code>/usr/local</code> is often shared between several machines 
+		 thanks to NFS.  For this reason, configuration files that are specific
+		 to a given machine can't be stored under <code>/usr/local</code>,
+		 <code>/etc</code> is the central repository for per machine
+		 configuration files.  Moreover, OpenBSD policy is to never update 
+		 files under <code>/etc</code> automatically.  Ports that need some
+		 specific boot setup should advise the administrator about what to do
+		 instead of blindly installing files.
    <li>OpenBSD does NOT compress man pages.
    <li>OpenBSD does NOT require <code>-lcrypt</code>.<br>
        DES encryption is part of the standard <code>libc</code>.
