Run levels 1, 2, and 5 try to start softdog.init, but the kernel is not
built with watchdog support.

I'll take the blame for this one.  Andrew was already bugging me about
it.  The next kernel will have the watchdog compiled in by default.

How come it isn't started in runlevels 3 and 4?  Is this "normal"?

One of the SRPMS - one of the badly behaved ones - seems to create this
when built.  It probably won't be on a "real" image.

Remember that the public image is a copy of my working system.

Thanks.

softdog is one of those packages that doesn't use a buildroot so it
gets installed automatically when built *sigh*

As Ralph mentioned, we will be building a hardware watchdog into the
kernels.

Good.  Its presence obviously upsets 'adduser'.

>Remember that the public image is a copy of my working system.

Yes, I had started to complain about some of the symbolic links (like the
ones in /usr/src/redhat)... but then assumed this wasn't a "real" image.

It also doesn't appear to be 'chkconfig' aware, which may relate to why it
doesn't get started in level 3.  (Or you pruned it manually.  :-)

I very likely did.  I found the message annoying :)
