Red Hat's chkconfig is vaguely similar to SGI's IRIX original, but is
implemented quite differently, internally.
Debian provides update-rc.d, which some people prefer. Personally, I
favour None of the Above, as I try not to become dependent on tools that
aren't near-universal across all *nixes (or at least, in this case, all
SysVInit-based ones). Fortunately, you can get a lot of mileage out of
the likes of "mv {S,s}20inetd", etc.
