[Mageia-dev] LSB init scripts question.

[David W. Hodgins]

On my Mageia 1 system, I noticed that xinetd wasn't getting
started.  After comparing the lsb headers, I modified the
script as per the following patch, and confirmed that on
reboot, it's now getting started.

$ cat xinetd.patch

  ### END INIT INFO

I was going to file a bug report, but decided to check other
files.  I found that udev-post and crond also are missing the
spaces.

udev-post does not get run at boot, as confirmed by
/var/lock/subsys/udev-post not existing, however crond is
getting started.

This doesn't make sense to me.  If the spaces are required,
how is crond still getting started, while xinetd and udev-post
are not?
