Ok, first of all this is /etc/init.d (note spelling) - /etc/rc.d/ is 
obsolete (and only there as a symlink on RH 7.2).  You can stop services 
temporarily by /etc/init.d/servicename stop and on RH to stop them 
permanently there's ntsysv

On Red Hat you should also be able to use Linuxconf (shudder) to specify 
what runs on what runlevel, I think.
