SuSE (and perhaps some other distributions) have for a few years

Without having looked into the CentOS 6 case, I would guess that
the mechanism used in RHEL has changed to match.  This could very
well be related to the LSB project, although that's just a guess, too.

Hi Devin,

Is it possible to sticky a service then to always start at the value chkconfig lists? Moving various services around like that isn't very helpful when I specifically need services to start is an exact order.

Or if I do remove the BEGIN/END INIT INFO block from the init scripts will that cause issues??  What's the solution in the SuSE world when someone wants a service to not get reordered??

Thanks!
