[LUNI] Getting the green "OK" on RH7.2

[Jay Strauss]

Seva,

I don't really understand.  If I comment out the "su", I get the "OK".  That
is I'm still not using the /etc/init.d/functions

I'm not at the machine today so can't try anything, but I have some ideas to
try next time (i.e. just "su"ing without executing my script, and seeing
what happens)
