Yes, pulled it from hg, make install, ipa-server-install

You can --add a service as often as you like, it will not be enabled by
default, and it only creates the kill symlinks if they don't exist yet.

- "chkconfig --list <service>" will exit with 1 if no kill symlinks for
   the service exist in /etc/rc*

- "chkconfig --add <service>" will only create the kill symlinks if
   they don't exist yet.

- "chkconfig <service> on" will only create the start symlinks.
