chkconfig worked fine but only after I had logged on as root, rather than as
Super user from my normal logon. In the second case, I got "command not
found". I had also found this happened with ifconfig. This doesn't happen
with Mandrake which I had been using previously.
When logged on as rootwhen logged on as root, there was no "man service"
file, but the service command worked . Having used chkdsk, Samba started on
reboot so I no longer had a problem.
