I think this is the OLD RedHat way.
Look at snippet from /etc/rc.sysinit of CentOS 5.5:
# Load other user-defined modules
for file in /etc/sysconfig/modules/*.modules ; do
[ -x $file ] && $file
done
# Load modules (for backward compatibility with VARs)
if [ -f /etc/rc.modules ]; then
/etc/rc.modules
fi
So, the new way is to have a /etc/sysconfig/modules/<my>.modules file.
I think this is better because unrelated modules are not in the same
file (like xinetd.d/ vs xinetd.conf).
One of the advantage of this approach is the ability to have such a
file included in an RPM (e.g. for AoE).
