RPM itself does not mean that there is a service. A service is an init script that is placed in /etc/init.d and the appropriate installation commands used.
You could create an init script and then execute chkconfig --add <initscript filename> that will add it. You need a header in the init script that is parsed by chkconfig, which the link below should give you some help. http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-write-sys-v-init-script-to-start-stop-service.html The other thing is puppet service resource type does not require that you have an init script configured like above. One of the caveats is that if you dont configure it to the rhel 5 way, the system wont start it up on boot and it will start up when puppet runs. The other caveat that I encountered is the way puppet determines a service is running by default is it looks for it in the process table, which means that your init script might be named one way but the actual process is named another way. You would need to use the meta "hasstatus" to get around that.
