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.
Created attachment 58644 [details] Trivial script to fix missing service startup/shutgown symlinks.
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).
