We dropped it in /Library/StartupItems and now all the Macs can
reboot just fine.
I've also bumped into similar situation in the past. For the future,
would you care to share your kill-the-DS script?
Rather than killing DS, Scott Barber informed me a while back that he'd
worked around this issue by adding dependencies to the startup items.
This is on thew whole less intrusive I think. I forget exactly which
dependencies he used; iirc I made LoginWindow depend on
DirectoryServices. The latter is empty so it's a bit weird to me that
it worked.
