If you want to support non-rpm-based platforms, you'll need to do much 
greater work than not depend on rpm. For example, /sbin/service and 
chkconfig might not be there.

All this is abstracted now in ipautil.py and right thing for those 
platforms would be to provide appropriate implementation of the ipautil.py.
