I can understand your feelings because as i start using archlinux i search a
tool as chkconfig too but i recognized that such a tool is not really
necessary.

So why do i think this? The equipollent of "chkconfig --list | grep '3:on'" is
the DAEMONS array in the rc.conf and the equipollent of the status of the
running daemons ist the content of /var/run/daemons (kdm is not there but it
have a pid file).

The only thing what i miss is that "chkconfig --list" shows me the x(inet)
lines too but this is not so much necessary for archlinux from my view.

In my case i must say that the most what i have missed at the beginning has
more to do with myself and what i have used before than with archlinux.
Perhaps this helps you too.

See you, Attila
