The gear icon in System -> Administration is system-config-services.  It 
used to be in a submenu called Server, but if that's the only entry, the 
submenu is disabled.  You can force-enable the sub-menu by right-clicking 
on the menu bar around the menu and selecting Edit Menus.  Or, as you 
discovered, if you actually have a syetem-config utility for a server app, 
the submenu will be automatically enabled.  But you have to install the 
system-config utility for each service you want.  A complete list of 
system-config-* packages is:

system-config-network.noarch             1.3.95-1               core

Of course, not all of these make entries in the submenu.

HTH.
