Description Martin Nagy 2008-06-06 09:04:46 UTC
Description of problem:
When trying to execute for example "chkconfig squid on" and not being root, the
error output is huge.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
chkconfig-1.3.37-2.x86_64

How reproducible:
Run chkconfig without root privileges.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. chkconfig squid on
  
Actual results:
failed to make symlink /etc/rc0.d/K50bluetooth: File exists
failed to make symlink /etc/rc1.d/K50bluetooth: File exists
[snip]
failed to make symlink /etc/rc4.d/S90squid: Permission denied
failed to make symlink /etc/rc5.d/S90squid: Permission denied

Expected results:
You do not have permission to set the service on
