OK, post the question, then answer it for oneself :-)

in the init.d script there must also at least be a line like this:

# chkconfig: 2345 92 25

2345 are the run levels which apply
92 is the startup priority (S92...)
25 is the shutdown priority (K25...) (?)

Not clear if lines like these -must- appear:

# description: ProFTPD server daemon
#
# processname: proftpd
# config: /etc/proftpd.conf
# pidfile: /var/run/proftpd.pid
