If you want a service up in level x, rc.x has an S??service. If you want a service down in level y, rc.y has a K??service. If you don't have either, it will depend on your previous runlevel. An example: [root@lh4 etc]# find /etc/rc.d -name "*sshd" /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S55sshd /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K25sshd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S55sshd /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K25sshd /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S55sshd /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K25sshd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S55sshd -- C.
