I am not sure, but i don't think i edit or modify this file, I am not so clever 
to do this, may be an old package do this.
Yes certainly at the upgrade of initscripts they ask me,  and generally i 
answer [N] ,i was not aware of the importance of this script and what he do, 
its was working so fine until 2.6.39 and 3.0 with errors.
A suggestion, the maintener of the initscripts can he test the date of the 
scripts and suggest firmly to replace the script.
 2009--->2012, in  3 years   linux  2.2 linux 3.3 they were plenty changes and 
the normal user don't know what and it's normal.
