Very Computer

The OSX user is offered no mechanism to disable Rendezvous, which is on by
default from installation.

I want to modify the script to to disable startup and write a system.log
entry "Rendezvous is disabled".
Here is the actual startup script as of 10.3.x:

Any help greatly appreciated, as I can barely understand what is going on
here!

I would start by changing this line

  if [ -f /usr/sbin/mDNSResponder ]; then

to

  if [ -x /usr/sbin/mDNSResponder ]; then

so then you could disable it by just turning off its executable bits:
chmod -x /usr/sbin/mDNSResponder

As for your logging requirement, I guess you'd just need to add an else
clause before the terminating fi:

   else
       ConsoleMessage "Apple Multicast DNS Responder disabled"
