Well, I don't actually see a point in this. If a service like that starts before login that's fine - it's the design and you have to live with it. If the service bothers you, disable it.
As far as I know, safe practice should make you disable absolutely everything you don't want or need *before* connecting the machine to the Internet. I don't believe you will install RedHat 6.2 on the machine, go away for a coffee while letting it sit on a login screen and return and find it like it was :) Just my 2 euro cents ..
