chkconfig is the command line tool for this. chkconfig --list lists all services and has a column for each run-level. If it says "on" for a run-level, it will start when that run-level is entered. Type 'chkconfig <service> on' to set a service to run on run-levels 3 through 5, you usually boot into 5, 3 if you don't run X. man chkconfig for more information.
