Description Harald Hoyer 2007-07-05 13:48:20 UTC 
Please have a look at the wikipage 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FCNewInit/Initscripts
and change your initscripts to comply with the LSB standard.
Especially check the exit status and add a LSB Header.
E.g. starting a service should return with 0, if the service is already running and stopping a stopped service should also return with 0.

Also check, if your service has to be _on_ per default, and turn it off in the old chkconfig line, if not.

Thank you.

FYI: cobblerd is required to be enabled by default.

Looking back over the mailing list, I see no public discussion on this item. 
Discussion on #fedora seems to confirm this came out of the blue.  As it's F8
specific (indeed, install_initd isn't in FC6), more documentation and discussion
is warranted.
