The easiest way I've found for controlling whether a service or daemon
process is started up is to find the apppropriate variable in the
/etc/rc.config file and set it to a value of "no". If you look at the
various control scripts in the /etc/rc.d directory you can see that they
all source in the /etc/rc.config file and if the variable they care
about is set to "yes" then they startup the specified program otherwise
the script generally does nothing.
