We had this discussion last week - I raised it. The problem is that
Mandrake's version of chkconfig -add is broken at higher security levels (4
or 5). If the service is not listed in /etc/security/msec/server.4 but the
service is on, Mandrake's chkconfig -add will turn it off. This is a bug.
What it should do is quietly return success and not do anything.
I've been burned by this several times, getting services turned off that were
running.
The workaround, at least until chkconfig gets fixed, is to add the services
manually to /etc/security/msec/server.4
