Strange.  I have a couple of CenOS 6.3 containers running just fine and
all the services that are configured to autostart are starting properly.

First question.  What runlevel is your container starting in?  Run the
"runlevel" command and you should see something like "N 3".  The first
number is the previous level (none in this case) and the second number
is the current runlevel (3 in this case).

The services in /etc/init.d are available to start but must be linked to
startup links in the appropriate /etc/rc.d/rc[runlevel].d
(/etc/rc.d/rc3.d in my example above).  Links that begin with an S
followed by two numbers (like S55sshd) are startup links when entering
that runlevel.

Services to be autostarted are normally managed by chkconfig.  Just type
"chkconfig" and look down the column of services for your runlevel and
see what's "on".  You can use chkconfig to turn services on or off as
well.

If you're in runlevel 1 or S (single user), you'll need to figure out
why and correct it.  You might check /etc/inittab for the "id" (init
default) line.  Most likely you are going to want 3.

If you are in runlevel 3 and you have services configured to start,
which are not starting, then you should probably look
in /var/log/messages to see if you're getting errors.
