starting up network services

[karusker]

I would like to start up apache, odsclient, mysql and pureftpd at bootime. In what file can I add these as one-liners to insure that they boot up in Gentoo?

There is none. Instead I'm afraid you'll just have to settle for going:
rc-update add servicename default

Well, there is one (/etc/conf.d/local.start), but it would be a little silly putting entries in it for services that have init.d scripts.
