You don't need to activate services early in the boot process. As I
understand it, chkconfig is like gentoo's rc-update. It's just something
you run once you just installed something from ports (in our case).
Anyway, that's the same as ${bla#\$}. Won't break whether you have a
leading dollar or not.
