Description Paul Moore 2002-05-27 07:24:18 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; T312461)

Description of problem:
Chkconfig fails to detect the services mentioned below, making them 
unmaintainable. The affected services are: cpqarrayd cups kdcrotate nscd 
postfix psacct winbind ypbind

This problem is caused by the absence of SXXservice or LXXservice files in the 
rc?.d directories.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Complete install of RedHat 7.3 system.
2. chkconfig --list
	

Actual Results:  None of the services mentioned were shown in the list reported 
by chkconfig.


Expected Results:  The services mentioned should have been shown as being 
maintainable by chkconfig.

Additional info:

I'm not actually sure if it is chkconfigs responsibility to create the rc?.d/
[S|K][0-88]service files. Maybe this is the role of each component or part of a 
post-install.

A trivial script to fix the problem by creating the appropiate symlinks 
(defaulting to disabled) is attached.

This is a bug in the individual packages, for some of them. cups and postfix are
deactivated as part of the alternatives process. Some of the others it *may* be
intentional to not activate (kdcrotate is one of these, as I recall).
