But on a Fedora default install SELinux is the only thing using and
requiring it, right?
setroubleshootd is a diagnostic tool. If SELinux is completely
disabled the
daemon exits if started.
OK, should it have "# hide: true" in /etc/init.d/setroubleshootd so it
doesn't even turn up in system-config-services?
Allowing
the daemon to decide if it should run or exit is more robust than some
utility which thinks it knows if something should be chkconfig'ed on or not
because it will almost certainly get that answer wrong.
Then all these smart daemons should have "# hide : true" in their
respective /etc/init.d/foo script so avoid being managed by the smart
utility system-config-services, am I right?
