And what about "rc-update", the Gentoo equivalent?
Or "vi /etc/init.d/<some_arb_file>" followed by 
"ln -s /etc/init.d/<some_arb_file> /etc/rc.<num>/<stuff>
for the truly hard-core?

chkconfig, like "service", is purely a RedHat-ism - designed to work only with 
init.d scripts that contain the special comment marker used by chkconfig

So it seems at odds with what LPI is all about - a generic cert that is 
applicable to Linux at large. "Red Hat does it like this" is never a valid 
reason to put something in the exam.
