Ok.....
Look at this:
root@CORS350:~# /etc/init.d/ipsec disable
root@CORS350:~# ls -l /etc/rc.d | grep ipsec
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Aug 27 13:43 S120ipsec -> ../init.d/ipsec
If I run /etc/init.d/ipsec disable, ipsec should have been removed from the rc.d directory, but as you can see, it isn't.
WHY?
So I removed it manually:
root@CORS350:~# ls -l /etc/rc.d | grep ipsec
and still:

It if its removed from the /etc/rc.d directory, why is it starting anyway?
How can I get it to STOP starting automatically?
Cheers,
