type the following command:

find /etc/rc.d/ -name ???rstatd

This will show you the files which start/stop rstatd.  The ones
beginning with an S start it and the ones beginning with a K kill it. 
Just append an X to the beginning of these files.  
example:
mv /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S20rstatd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/xS20rstatd
