Hi Forrie,
Puppet service resource *enable* property internally executes the
chkconfig command for red hat, This property behaves quite differently
depending on the platform; wherever possible, it relies on local tools to
enable or disable a given service.You can confirm the facter *osfamily *returns
*redhat *or not. Use provider => redhat along with enable property. Thanks
and Regards,
