Yes. It seems that the upgrades add the symlinks back if the service is deleted from chkconfig, but not if all the levels are off. Simplest will be to move the script to execute after the updates. Thanks. Its just laziness that keeps sendmail and so on. I am not sure what a good minimum installation is, but I see there is some new discussion of this issue today. I understand the issues with r* but these functions are embedded in all sorts of parallel software and scripts that we use. We have our system pretty well isolated from the outside world.

I'm not sure about those particular services, but I've noticed some packages have stuff like "ckconfig --add xxx" and so on in the %post section, that will make a mess and it's according to me a bad thing to do, however I've seen such stuff... More things: If you're not using sendmail, ssh... why not simply avoid installing them in the first place (-sendmail, -openssh-server... in %packages). Second are you sure you prefer to use all that r* garbage instead of ssh :)?
