probably because when run from the init script it cannot actually start the daemon (due to requirements to create the key etc). if everything is in place correctly beforehand then it will work. I guess the question , then, is - can the RPM do the required creation of example/test keys etc rather than require the admin to jump through the hoops - and thats a question for the distro maintainers. alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
