/etc/services should just be entries like
hylafax tcp/4559
..

If you look at the script "start" section you see that
====
case $1 in
'start')
        if $IS_ON fax && test -x $FAXQ; then
            killall -15 faxq
            killall -15 hfaxd
            printf "HylaFAX:"
            if test $FAXQ_SERVER -eq 1 ; then
                $FAXQ; printf " faxq"
            fi
            if test $HFAXD_SERVER -eq 1 ; then
                $HFAXD -i $FAXPORT
            fi
            printf " hfaxd (without old protocol or SNPP support)"
            $ECHO "."
        fi

So there may be cases where it does stop the daemons and does not start
them (maybe it wrongly thinks they are started by inetd.conf, it sources
setup.cache and look for 2 variables), maybe you're in one of them.

AFAIK slackware does not use bugzilla, redhat does.
