Thanks, James. That's what I was hoping. Further and better particulars will have to
wait until I get back to the computer, I'm afraid.
Anything in particular?
So far, I was I just enabling sshd (chkconfig --levels 345 sshd on), turning off the
firewall (chkconfig --levels 345 iptables off) and then "shutdown -r now".
Upon reboot, no sshd. Now I know what to expect, I can dig around more specifically.

You've understood correctly. Changes anywhere that's under /
should persist, except for temp-style directories: /tmp, /var/tmp, /var/cache/yum.
Something else must be going wrong. I think we'll need more details to work out
what.
