chkconfig --add doesn't in itself start anything.  What you are doing
wrong is the setting in the initscript --- it should not be trying to
have itself automatically enabled.

No, they don't.  As a general rule, simply installing an RPM should
*never* autostart a daemon.  There are some exceptions, for daemons
without which your system won't function at all, but I strongly
doubt that conman qualifies.

The lack of assurance that the daemon is properly configured is
only one of the reasons why this is a bad idea.  Don't do it,
and don't give your customer the idea that anyone at Red Hat
sanctions it.
