        chkconfig should work for xinetd sub-services the same way it
does for the xinetd and other top-level services.  "chkconfig sgi_fam
off", in my experience and according to what the great big blob that is
documentation says, should add that "disabled=yes" line and restart
xinetd all in one shot, with minimal to no output.

        If it doesn't work on FCx, please, file a bug - if it doesn't
work on CentOS, let me know privately and I'll check against RHEL, but
due to a number of other factors you probably shouldn't expect us
(meaning Red Hat) to give much of a flip if it work in RHEL and not in
CentOS.
