To make sure these daemons do not start, go into /etc/rc.d
You will see rc0.d - rc6.d.  For each of the different run levels
daemons or services are started or stopped depending on the links.

Here is an example:

/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S85httpd

The capital S indicates that this service should be started in run level 3.
To change it so that it won't start do a:

mv /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S85httpd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/s85httpd

You will have to look through all directories and find occurrences like this.

"S" means start
"s" don't start
"K" means kill
"k" don't kill

Pretty easy, huh?
