I'm facing a curious problem : i can remove services with chkconfig
--del service, but i can't add them back by using chkconfig --add
service. Some services aren't concerned (gpm), but most are (cups, nfs,
portmap, etc...). Curiously, i got no error message when using this
directly, but rpm installation detects uncorrect exit status :
[root@agathe guillaume]# rpm -U --force portmap-4.0-11mdk.i586.rpm 
execution of portmap-4.0-11mdk script failed, exit status 1
[root@agathe guillaume]# rpm -q --scripts
portmap                              
postinstall script (through /bin/sh):
/sbin/chkconfig --add portmap
Using tksysv or ntsysv instead works, but drakxsrvices fails also.
This could eventually be a user/group-related problem, as i crashed my
/etc/passwd and /etc/group recently.
Has anyone an idea ?

Current configuration :
SysVinit-2.78-6mdk
etcskel-1.63-9mdk
setup-2.1.9-23mdk
initscripts-5.27-37mdk
drakxtools-1.1.5-31mdk
chkconfig-1.2.12-1mdk
