Yes you should it create it manually, its a daemontools specific thingy
and not Redhat's.

Finally, configure svscan to run automatically when the system is
booted. If your system has an /etc/inittab (Linux or System V), add the
following on a single line to the end of the file:
SV:123456:respawn:env - PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin
svscan /service </dev/null >/dev/console 2>/dev/console
Then tell init to reread /etc/inittab:
#kill -HUP 1
</end snip>
