> From what I understand, the way init works on SUSE is slightly different from
> the sysV init model used on RHEL. On RHEL, the probe checks and finds a
> symbolic link of the init.d/<service> script in the rc<>.d/ directory. Based
> on whether that file starts with a ‘K’ or an ‘S’, the service state for that
> run level is determined as either disabled or enabled. Because of the
> optimizations in SUSE, on run-levels where the service is disabled, there
> won’t be a symbolic link to the init.d/<service> script and on run-levels
> where the service is enabled, both K and S script will be found. I do not
> know if this is a foolproof logic to determine the service states on SUSE
> but it does seem to work both with the tests in make check as well as other
> independent service based definitions. There is still a minor issue in the
> test case itself in the get_services_list() module but this has nothing to
> do with oscap, all valid service level definitions get evaluated correctly.
