Any way, rc* scripts just return status messages. To see error message, go
to /var/log/messages (the default place), _if_ status and log aren't changed
on the config files/directives. Try to open 2 SSH sessions and in one, run
'tail -f /var/log/messages' (maximize this window first), and in the other
try any command that You whant to 'test'...

Good luck
   Edson.
