[omniORB] init.d script handling in rpm (3.0.5-1)

[Rob Riggs]

Pablo, I guess this is really a difference of opinion about how to 
handle services and system security. I do not believe most packages 
should enable their services automatically. I see installation of 
software and enabling of services as two distinct steps -- and an 
important security consideration. I personally prefer that the package 
behave the way it currently does, requiring the admin to explicitly 
enable the CORBA service. In this case, the init script only enables the 
CORBA NameService. I do not believe that everyone that installs the 
omniORB package needs this service running. I certainly do not enable it 
on all machines I have omniORB installed.
