That is basically whay chkconfig does. For services that are set to "on" it
will create a symlink in the /etc/rc.d/rcx.d dirs for the runlevel specified
with a name like S45whatever pointing to the init.d script where x is the
runlevel specified.
I guess in RH7.x it is probably /etc/rc.d/rcx.d. I have never run slockware
but I have always thought that the way the rc script calls the K* scripts and
the S* scripts in the specified runlevel was pretty neat. Keep in mind that I
am easily amused.
