/sbin/chkconfig --del service

where "service" is an init script in /etc/init.d/

man chkconfig

You can also do it manually by removing the 'S' and 'K' symbolic links
in /etc/rcn.d where "n" is the current runlevel (as reported by the
"runlevel" command).

If there is no init script, and the service runs from xinetd, then you will
need to look in /etc/xinetd.d for the conf file for the service and
edit it to say "disable = yes" to swithch it off (don't forget to send a
HUP signal to xinetd).
