I have done a successful run with the last part of the spec file commented

script is not executable so the installation is carried out (and the file 
copied) but chkconfig fails because omniNames is not executable - so
I am doing another run with an addition to the spec file (see below).

This works (up to the same point as before)

These do the same as rpm -ba (dunno why).

It defaults to i386. Maybe that can cause the problems? (Wild Guess)

You also need (for some reason) to do the following:

chmod a+x $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/init.d/omniNames

I found that the link stays symbolic after I installed my bootscripts rpm.
I checked through suse's hotplug src rpm spec file for clues as to how to
insert the rcomniNames link.

Will do. I am busy with a run that reincludes them and does not specify the
architecture (like the first time I did a successful run).
