Hmm, I just slid up to my coworkers RH8 system and think I figured it out. I just tried copying irda to irda2 in /etc/init.d and it did not show up in the list of services. But I then linked it in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d as S91irda2 and it showed up fine. Linking it as just irda2 didnt work. I imagine from what I've seen you have to link it as [S/K]XXyyyyyy in order for the services program to 'see' it.
