I guess I am crazy but on my FC6 machine I have an option:
System->Administration-> Server Settings
which allows you to configure NFS, HTTP, Samba ,etc servers as well as
do what chkconfig can do in a sub menu servers.

That is what I understood the OP wanted to have under FC6 and it is
there. So I am a little confused by Rahul's statements.
