Description of problem: nifd service is not added using chkconfig during package installation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.6-1 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install howl 0.9.6-1 from rpm. 2. Attempt to use chkconfig to view or control the nifd service. 3. Actual results: chkconfig does not know about nifd service. Expected results: chkconfig should be able to list the nifd service, and allow the administrator to turn the service on or off. Additional info: Looking at the spec, it is clear that init scripts for both services are installed in /etc/init.d, but chkconfig --add is only used on the mDNSResponder service. In order for the nifd service to be available to the standard service management tools, chkconfig --add should also be used on the nifd service.
Its not installed because autoipd isn't really integrated into the os yet (and i'm not sure yet exactly how to do this in the best way). So, nifd isn't needed.
It seems confusing for the init script to exist in /etc/rc.d/init.d but not be registered using chkconfig. It seems like it would make more sense for it to be registered, but default to off, or remove the script from the package for the time being while it is not usable.
Fixed in 0.9.6-3
