Go read the Release Notes on RedHat 7.2 CD1 then read the Release Notes on
RedHat 7.3 CD1.

This is somewhat less than useful advice, as the release notes just say that it
is deprecated, then gone, not what replaced its functionality.

Just the same as the rp3 _package_ that went, but at least there was a pointer to
redhat-config-network which, would you believe, contains the file /usr/bin/rp3 :-)

As to the answer to the original query - it appears that the trail goes:- linuxconf
or chkconfig, to redhat-config-services (7.2), to serviceconf (7.3).

It's gone. Search on google for the homepage and download it there if you
want it.

Redhat dropped it because of a loud outcry from users about it being
buggy. Some had no problems, but enough did that they decided it was
history.

"Linuxconf allows you to remotely administer a linux box... even if it's
 not yours" was a quote I saw about its security.  I guess Redhat have
 given up on it.

Of course the One True Way[tm] is vim `find /etc -type f`, but you
probably didn't want to hear that.

[Sigh] Personally, I miss the good old fashioned Control Panel.  Never
failed.

Oh, well.

Try using Webmin instead ;) you can use it from any standard browser

Linuxconf was depricated in 7.2 and was not included at all in 7.3 or
Red Hat Linux.

I second that. Webmin is vastly superior to Linuxconf. Get it from
http://www.webmin.com.

RH heard many complaints about Linuxconf from folk who had damage from it 
  They deprecated  an dropprd it in 7.3.  Webmin is good replacement.
