Hi,

I'm noticing some strangeness with chkconfig on CentOS 6.0 and was looking for 
a bit of advice.

It appears that chkconfig is re sequencing or re ordering the start priority of 
various services when turning on a service using chkconfig.
Example is the network service. Under normal circumstances network is set to 
start at S10. However when I add something like snmpd and invoke chkconfig 
snmpd on it will change network to S81. Which fouls up some of my other 
services that look for config files on NFS shares.

Testing this issue with the snmpd service I removed $network from 
Required-Start which did nothing.

The only solution I've found is to remove the entire BEGIN INIT INFO to END 
INIT INFO section. Once that is removed it no longer changes the network 
startup priority when enabling the snmpd service.

Seems to me that you'd want network started before snmpd. So why chkconfig 
wants to re arrange it to start after snmpd which defaults to S50 is beyond me.

So why would it do that? Did I miss some documentation or something? :-)

Thanks in advance for any assistance!
