Under /etc/rc.d/ . (The "rc.d" level is a non-standard RedHat-ism.)
The scripts themselves live in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ Symlinks for each
runlevel point to that directory from /etc/rc.d/rcN.d/, where N is the
runlevel number.
If you rummage through the /etc/rc.d/rc script, you'll see how it all
works.

Rule of thumb for a *ix box is that, if you have to reboot to do routine
administration of any kind other than switching kernels, you've usually
missed something.
