No, Mike is right.  What was in previous /etc/rc.d/init.d is /etc/init.d
and all the rc.X's
are now in /etc too starting with 7.0.   One of the cool things about 7.0
is that alot of
things that were previously unchanged to avoid confilict are now being
changed, and
I for one am glad.  FHS compliance is a good thing.  Other linux
distributions are
starting to follow FHS compliance like Debian which would make RPM packages

easier to install because the paths should be very much the same on all the
systems.
I think if a macro was added for each dir mentioned in the latest FHS to
rpm it would
be really helpful in distributing packages on many different linux
distributions that support
FHS compliance.  That was just my 3.14159 cents worth.
