Sorry for having confused you by top listing.

BTW, it is very strange why
chkconfig option seems to be gone in CentOS 5.2 on your box.

On my CentOS 5.2 box,
it is no problem to stop starting it by each chkconfig levels as follows.

[root@example.com /]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.2 (Final)

[root@example.com /]# /usr/bin/ssh -v
OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006

[root@example.com /]# chkconfig --list | grep ssh
sshd               0:off    1:off    2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

[root@example.com /]# chkconfig --del sshd

[root@example.com /]# chkconfig --list | grep ssh
[root@example.com /]#

Cent OS5.2 is very fine distro just as Redhat for me.
