Hi!
During setup of a new buildbot master under OpenBSD 7.4 I noticed that
'rcctl start buildbot' always fails but buildbot is running afterwards.
Debugging showed that buildbot is calling 'tail -F' to watch the
twistd.log for recognizing a successfull startup.
The attached diff fixes this call to tail by replacing '-F' with '-f'.
Now buildbot startes as expected and rcctl is happy too.
