This must be a Red Hat "policy" thing that packages that install a new service 
make sure to add that service but "in a safe mode" -- httpd has "stop" 
entries in all runlevels.

I find it interesting that is you have named only in runlevel 5 (either stop 
or start, it does not matter) and nothing defined in the other runlevels, 
then chkconfig --list reports the correct info for runlevel 5 but "off" for 
the other runlevels.

To be consistent with your statement, shouldn't we bugzilla chkconfig to 
report "on/off" (really start/stop) only where that is actually defined?  As 
it now works, it will report that switching from runlevel 5 to runlevel 3 
will stop named when this is not the case.
