The start script is in init.d; it's "on" in chkconfig, but it doesn't start unless I manually start it.  It would appear that I need to add it to the admin-services list, but the man file for that app is pretty thin, and I don't know how to do it.  Can anybody advise?

add the start up script in

    /etc/rc.local

This runs on the tail end of multi-user boot sequence. 

If you need the program to start at a specific place in the boot 
sequence then research a bit on the /etc/rc[0-6].d directories.  Files 
in these directories control what comes up when during the boot sequence 
once grub hands off the system.
