I will try to answer your question.
The S and K stand for "S"tart and "K"ill. If the link is S15inetd then it
will start the inetd superserver. And you are correct about the number
being used for order of starting each daemon.
If you want to see more about this check out the ntsysv and chkconfig
commands.
