I don't know what the author of that stuff been smoking, but I have to say
that I was not impressed when I saw the SuSE scripts the last time. I didn't
like the way they're using centralized configuration. Perhaps it's just a
matter of taste and the author was still too much into Windows? Who knows...

The SuSE scripts probably won't work because (if they still use that system)
are absed on some central configuration files that control whether services
are started and their options.
