nfs            	0:off	1:off	2:off	3:off	4:off	5:on	6:off
/sbin/chkconfig --list mailman
mailman        	0:off	1:off	2:on	3:on	4:on	5:on	6:off

So it's not surprising that nfs turns off, but I'm pretty sure I didn't change

this setting.  If so, the default setting is apparantly wrong.

The default for NFS is to not run at all, so you had to change something.

Doesn't explain the mailman issue, either.  Have you checked the other
things that you didn't specifically mention in you first mail?

I believe I used my standard install customization script, which would have 
done:

    runcommand ("/sbin/chkconfig nfs on")
    runcommand ("/sbin/service nfs restart")

I doubt that I had specified nfs run only in level 5, since I always ever just 
use "on" and "off" to chkconfig.

Not sure about this one.  Possibly unrelated.  I did see several messages 
about stopping and starting services that I believe should not be stopped by 
going from 5->3.  nfs was the one that particularly caught my attention.

I can't repeat the experiment at the moment, but I'm surprised nobody else 
noticed anything like this.
