Ummm.../etc/init.d/ is kinda important, all the files in your runlevel dir's
(/etc/rcx) are actually sim-links back to the actual scripts in this
(/etc/init.d/) directory.

Try:
ls -al /etc/rc3.d/
or
ls -al /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/

Depending on your distro.

you will see something like this (except more):

------------
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 Aug 13 03:17 S90crond ->
../init.d/crond
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           13 Aug 12 23:36 S91smb ->
../init.d/smb
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           20 Aug 12 20:58 S98portsentry ->
../init.d/portsentry
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           11 Aug 13 03:16 S99local ->
../rc.local
