Hi Dan. I don't know why the services tool stopped working for you,
but /sbin/chkconfig is the CLI tool to stop and start services, and
looking
in synaptic on my FC2 install under system-config-services, chkconfig
is a
dep for it, so it looks like system-config-services is just a graphical
frontend to chkconfig.
What do you get if you su to root on the CLI, and run chkconfig? It
should
give you the following options.
[root@localhost djmons]# /sbin/chkconfig
chkconfig version 1.3.9 - Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Red Hat, Inc.
This may be freely redistributed under the terms of the GNU Public
License.
usage: chkconfig --list [name]
chkconfig --add <name>
chkconfig --del <name>
chkconfig [--level <levels>] <name> <on|off|reset>)
[root@localhost djmons]#
/sbin/chkconfig --list shows the current state of all services
It may be worth a look, as chkconfig appears to be the backend to the
system-config-services GUI.
2¢ worth of perhaps nothing.
Nigel.

Funnyingly, chkconfig was the only tool that saved me in
en/disabling services that I did not want and yes, it works.
I wonder, however, if chkconfig is improperly set for
s-c-s to be able to hook to it. Hm.
# chkconfig -v
chkconfig version 1.3.37
Permissions:
-rwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 /sbin/chkconfig
Other than the version difference, it looks ok to me, how about you?
/usr/bin/system-config-services is a symlink to /usr/bin/consolehelper.
consolehelper is a part of the "usermode" RPM. Perhaps consolehelper is
screwed up?
