Linuxconf handles this differently than ntsysv.
If you use Linuxconf you must ENABLE Linuxconf itself running at boot.
Linuxconf reads from the /etc/conf.linuxconf file to then determine what
it's supposed to do, which includes turning on those services.
If on the other hand you are using ntsysv, then this fouls up Linuxconf's
way of doing things...
ntsysv uses the usual symlinks...

Subject: [expert] weirdness with linuxconf
For some reason, samba wasn't starting at bootload, so I check in the
linuxconf services. It's listed as "manual" and not running. So I click
on the Automatic button for it, do Accept and leave. Later, for some
reason, I went back and was looking at some services, and happened to see
the entry for Smb. Guess what? It still says "Manual"? I experimented
with several other services and discovered the same thing. Also, for some
reason, there are two entries for Imap. This has gotten more than a little
frustrating, I must say. I don't remember running into any of these issues
when I was running 6.1. Some of these issues seem like basic QA oversights.
