How about "fork failed" ?

Hmm, this is similar, but not the same, to the file found in
the asterisk source contrib/init.d/ directory for RH.  I
guess services are still the same as in Fedora, tho.

Try changing this line to "daemon safe_asterisk" and make
sure safe_asterisk is installed.  You'll find that in the
asterisk source contrib/scripts/ directory.  Put it
somewhere in the path, like /usr/sbin would be good.

I don't actually use this script on RH, I only use the
safe_asterisk script from S99local.  But that's pretty
non-standard.
