I like to add that starting a daemon in /etc/rcS.d/ causes troubles when switching later to runlevel 1 (e.g. for maintenance) and coming back to the real runlevel (e.g. 2). The script /etc/init.d/killprocs started as /etc/rc1.d/S30killprocs kills these daemons started in runlevel S. They are never started again and you may get a broken system, when you came back to your default runlevel. I had/have this problem with devfsd very often.
