From your link https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=rcorder

> The `REQUIRE' keyword is misleading: It does not describe which daemons have to be running before a script will be started.

> It describes which scripts must be placed before it in the dependency ordering. For example, if your script has a `REQUIRE' on `sshd', it means the script must be placed after the `sshd' script in the dependency ordering, not necessarily that it requires sshd to be started or enabled.
