Ok the daemon startup files are actually in /etc/init.d

The directories /etc/rc0.d ... /etc/rc6.d contain links to the daemon 
startup files for each of the runlevels 0 .. 6.

The S at the start of a link says the daemon should be "started" and a K 
says the daemon should be "killed" on entering that runlevel

The 91 or any other number says the order in which the daemons should be 
started or killed.
