Don't listen to Mark, he's been running Slackass^H^H^Hware too long.  ;-)

Bill is right.  (You can also use the SysV runlevel editor in the
control panel, but ntsysv is *much* simpler.)  Doing anything else
will likely cause problems when you want to upgrade to a newer apache
rpm or a newer version of Red Hat.

BTW, ntsysv is probably the best addition Red Hat made to RH 5.x.  Try
it.  :-)
