in rh you have setup command to edit the list of programs you want at boot up. you can try something similar.

if that does not work then goto the rc5.d directory in /etc/rc.d
and renove the symbolic link to the program you don't want to run at bootup.
if you use runlevel 3 then goto rc3.d

oh ok I get it. rc*.d is a dir not a conf file.
