So I tried to see if /etc/init.d/Services was referenced in the files
that are part of redhat-config-services package, so I did this:

  rpm -q -l redhat-config-services|xargs grep "/etc/init.d/Services"

All I get is a bunch of "No such file or directory" error for the files
in the locale directory, for example:

grep: /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/redhat-config-services.mo: No
such file or directory

So I said, well, something erased those files! But:
  rpm -V redhat-config-services
does not report an error... so the package is fine. But the files are
missing. Looks like a packaging problem to me...

It looks to me like it is RedHat related. But you say it was working
before installing Planet CCRMA. I don't think I have touched any
packages that deal with locales (except for those that _use_ them). 

BUT, I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling redhat-config-services
and now the files _are_ there (on RedHat 8.0). Uh??? Could you try
reinstalling the package?
