My understanding was the same as James.  My impression was that the kill 
scripts run as you switch into a runlevel.  Thus rc6.d contains a ton of 
K scripts and only two S scripts (S00killall and S01reboot) and rc0.d is 
the same except S01halt replaces S01reboot.

telinit <somelevel> should prove it quickly...I'm not at a machine I can 
do a runlevel change on at the moment, but I reckon James is right.

This is one of those simple things that I rarely dig into though.  It 
just works, so why bother understanding it?  ;-)

Anyway, in my RPMs I've gone under the assumption that you start it in 
runlevels where you want it to run and kill it in levels where you don't 
(thus network gets killed in level 1..actually everything gets killed 
there except S00single).  I may be wrong, but it seems to work.  Then 
again, so does Webmin!  ;-)
