Description smc 1999-02-25 18:03:04 UTC
if you have 2 or more services with the same initial chars
(such as nfs and nfsfs) then chkconfig on and off for one
changes both (with one exception - see that last example
below).  It looks like it gets the length of the first
service name (which apparently is the short one under most
cases) and then just pulls out all services that match for
that number of chars. It's probably the same issue with
bug#1166 - probably the same parse routine?  I wasn't sure
whether I should put in a new bug or try to add comments to
the 1166.

root@nox:/ [31] # rpm -q chkconfig-0.9.6-1
chkconfig-0.9.6-1
root@nox:/ [32] # chkconfig --list | grep nfs
nfsfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
nfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
root@nox:/ [33] # chkconfig nfs off
root@nox:/ [34] # chkconfig --list | grep nfs
nfsfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
nfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
root@nox:/ [35] # chkconfig nfsfs on
root@nox:/ [36] # chkconfig --list | grep nfs
nfsfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
nfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
root@nox:/ [37] # chkconfig nfsfs off
root@nox:/ [38] # chkconfig --list | grep nfs
nfsfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
nfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
--- here's the only time it works properly:
root@nox:/ [39] # chkconfig nfs on
root@nox:/ [40] # chkconfig --list | grep nfs
nfsfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
nfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
root@nox:/ [41] #

I have been able to replicate this problem in the test lab. I Used the
chkconfig utility to enable both the nfs and the nfsfs services for
runlevels 3,4,5. When you use the chkconfig command:

chconfig nfs off

it disables both instead of just nfs. Also if you use

chkconfig nfsfs off

it also fails. This has been passed on to a developer.

fixed in chkconfig-1.0.2
