Weird. system-config-services does nothing else than running things like
"chkconfig telnet on" or "chkconfig telnet off" and for non-xinetd driven
services start/stop them with the "service" helper tool. That edits
the files and replaces the same disable=yes/no setting. Whether you
do it with chkconfig or system-config-services, makes no difference.
