Which is fine, if you want to do these extra steps to get this
sort of confirmation.
But the whole purpose of this util is to tell you at a glance.
And it is giving contradictory info.
If a servce is disabled, and I have nothing that starts it, then
the sys config services should not say the status is running.
In fact, even clicking on Stop, the status remains 'running'.
Also, I am not sure if this bug should be filed against Fedora,
as it is present in other distros.
JD,
Go ahead and submit a Bugzilla report against s-c-s citing exactly what
you are seeing, what it's not doing, etc. It's been my experience that
the service-config-whatever scripts often get lost in the shuffle of new
packages. When their maintainers get good descriptive Bugzilla reports,
they can frequently push out a good fix in short order.
For example, about six months ago a problem with system-config-httpd was
fixed after lying dormant for almost two releases. IIRC that problem
turned out to be in alchemy, used by s-c-h. It took the maintainer a
couple of months to find and fix the problem, but he eventually got it.
Good luck.
