Setting up variant system services

oneSIS only needs to handle services that vary between nodes. If a service runs on every node, it should be handled through the distribution's normal mechanisms, for instance chkconfig on RedHat systems.

SERVICE directives specify which services should run on which classes of nodes. The mk-sysimage script verifies that services are configured to start in the default runlevel. When rc.preinit runs at boot-time, a linkback is created to the start script if the service is enabled. Otherwise the linkback is not created and the service does not start because the start script effectively does not exist for that node.
