That's doesn't seem to be right. I've got httpd set to 'on' for runlevels 
2,3,4 and 5. Doing a "chkconfig httpd off" sets *all* runlevels to 'off' 
and then doing a "chkconfig httpd on" sets runlevels 2,3,4 and 5 back to 
on. It behaves like that both on my Desktop running in runlevel 5 (F10) and 
on a server running level 3 (Centos5).

I always believed the 'chkconfig X on' without specifying the runlevels 
would turn on the default runlevel specified in the init script because 
that's the way it seems to behave.
