FYI I've looked at three different Linux systems today (SuSE, RedHat,
Debian), and they seem to store per-service config info in different
places. 

 - /etc/rc.config contains everything, for all services
 - /etc/config/service contains all the info for one service
 - /etc/init.d/service contains the config belonging to the service,
   in the same file.

Just a data point...
