Without testing (or fetching and reading the source as it is a binary not
a script) I was unable to tell when and how it examines the files and
symlinks and to what extend it strictly needs a chkconfig-specific header
in the initscript. And even when testing with a non-existant "blah"
service, maybe chkconfig would have given different results only when
finding run-level symlinks.
I wanted Neal to dig a little deeper and find the problem himself. My
small set of questions lead to enough details to locate the problem.
That's fine, and I try to do that too, but you did make an assumption
(that he wasn't root) without any evidence to support it.
Me, I ran chkconfig to see what it did.
