Fedora uses xinetd, so the file you're looking for is /etc/xinetd.conf and the control files under /etc/xinetd.d
To disable sshd run:

Code:

service sshd stop
chkconfig --del sshd

xinetd.d directory is present crv and rsync are the two files in xinet.d but xinetd.conf is not present....i tried to find it out using locate xinetd.conf....

Usually you don't have to edit xinetd.conf. All the work is done through the control files in /etc/xinetd.d directory. Anyway you can use the attached stock file (rename it to xinetd.conf).
