Description:
    Previous versions of several packages were configured not to start
    services by default.  This was in many cases the heritage of an
    installation mode where an "everything" install from a physical
    media set that defined the install would have an unreasonable set
    of services deployed.  rPath Linux does not follow that model; many
    network services are in the operating system but not distributed
    on the default media.  Also, creating software appliances and
    derivative distributions is made less convenient by the requirement
    to add chkconfig overrides in order to start services.
    
    To make rPath Linux more useful for these purposes, the am-utils,
    dovecot, httpd, krb5, microcode_ctl, mysql, nfs-utils, postgresql,
    vsftpd, and ypserv packages have been modified to start services by
    default when newly installed.  This change will not affect existing
    installations of these packages, so currently-disabled services
    will continue to be disabled after applying this update.
