After installing a SuSE 11.0 system, I noticed this:

$ chkconfig --del cron
cron                      0:off  1:off  2:off  3:off  4:off  5:off  6:off
$ chkconfig --add cron
insserv: Service boot.setclock has to be enabled for service cron
insserv: exiting now!
/sbin/insserv failed, exit code 1
cron                      0:off  1:off  2:off  3:off  4:off  5:off  6:off
$ fgrep $time /etc/insserv.conf
^C
$ fgrep '$time' /etc/insserv.conf
$time           boot.setclock +xntpd
$ ls /etc/init.d/boot.*clock
/etc/init.d/boot.clock*  /etc/init.d/boot.getclock*

Note that $time in /etc/insserv.conf is defined as 'boot.setclock' but there is no such script /etc/init.d/boot.setclock. I believe $time should be defined as 'boot.clock' rather than 'boot.setclock'...

RPM versions:

$ rpm -qf /etc/insserv.conf
insserv-1.11.0-29
$ rpm -qf /etc/init.d/cron
cron-4.1-170
$ rpm -qf /etc/init.d/boot.clock
aaa_base-11.0-72


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See 'Details'.

Actual Results:  
See 'Details'.


Expected Results:  
"chkconfig --add cron" should not fail.

Here is the proposed fix:

$ diff -u insserv.conf{.orig,}
