Bug Description

Package: gnome-system-tools
Version: 1.3.0.1-0

The ntpdate package installs an S symlink for ntpdate in
/etc/rcS.d/. I disabled this by hand: I renamed it from
S51ntpdate to K51ntpdate. (This is the correct way to disable
a script in rcS.d/.)

I ran g-s-t "Services" manager and enabled ntpdate. It
created an S50ntpdate symlink in the current multiuser runlevel
(3), leaving the K symlink in rcS.d/ still present. This less
than ideal. If 3:S50ntpdate is the proper location for the
S symlink then the ntpdate package should not put an S symlink
in rcS.d/. If rcS.d/ is the right place for the symlink then
g-s-t should not put one in the current multiuser runlevel.
