OK, thanks. That clears up what the problem is. Now to determine the cause. I
suspect a problem with the %postinstall scripts of the packages since other
package installations are correctly placing files in /etc/rc.d/init.d and
setting up the proper symlinks in the /etc/rc?.d dirs. So lets start by looking
at the scripts in those packages. Can you show us the output of:
rpm -q --scripts jdk
rpm -q --scripts tomcat
rpm -q --scripts VMware-server
