Summary

rcorder(8) requires the rcorder block to be an uninterrupted sequence of
REQUIRE, PROVIDE, BEFORE, and KEYWORD lines. Having a comment in between
REQUIRE and KEYWORD makes rcorder stop parsing the block when it reaches
the comment. Fix that by moving the comment out from the rcorder block.

Test Plan

After the patch is applied, rcorder will report sendmail as having the shutdown keyword:

rcorder -k shutdown /etc/rc.d/* | grep sendmail

This seems fine to me. Looks like it's been broken for a rather long time.

What exactly is the effect? Does sendmail actually need the shutdown keyword?

What exactly is the effect? Does sendmail actually need the shutdown keyword?

Yes, to ensure a clean shutdown of active SMTP connections (and writing any in memory queue files).
