I would have suggested it if you hadn't done so already. Earlier versions of 
Puppet has broken many services on our systems by using "chkconfig --del 
servicename", and IIRC, trying to run "chkconfig servicename on/off" results in 
an error for such a service. It would be nice to include code that cleans up 
the breakage that the earlier version caused, so that the sysadmins won't have 
to do that manually.

Bug #1219: Disabling a service on Red Hat systems should use 'chkconfig service 
off', not 'chkconfig --del service'

Currently, if I disable a service with enable => false, Puppet seems to run 
'chkconfig --del servicename'. This is incorrect, as it removes the service 
from chkconfig management. The correct way is to use 'chkconfig servicename 
off'.

One of the bad effects of the current behavior is that 'chkconfig --del 
servicename' removes all the /etc/rc*.d/K*servicename links, which are there to 
make sure that temporarily started services are allowed to gracefully shutdown 
on a system shutdown. They are preserved when 'chkconfig servicename off' is 
used.

Obviously this also means that enable => true should result in a 'chkconfig 
servicename on' instead of the current 'chkconfig --add servicename'.
