SuSE (and perhaps some other distributions) have for a few years been using that BEGIN/END INIT INFO block instead of the 'chkconfig' line to determine ordering, and will do exactly as you described. 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. Devin
