Disabling a Startup service
I've got CentOS. And I'm using this command to see all my services and their runlevels.
#chkconfig --list
I can clearly see some services I don't care to have started at bootup. Like Bluetooth.
I've tried the ntsysv utility, but it doesn't seem to work, after I restart.
Is there a particular command that lets me completely disable a service and set all runlevels to "off" ?
thanks!

Yes, you can disable the services you don't need.
Check this HowTo for instructions and other information on doing so:
Services in Fedora 10
...it was written for Fedora but should also work with RHEL and CentOS.oz

To set what services start at boot use the following;
If you need to stop or start them without rebooting you can do the followingCode:chkconfig [--level <levels>] <name> <on|off>
Code:service <name> <start|stop|restart>
