    This is what they mean:

    0   Halt
1   Single-User mode
2   Multi-user mode console logins only (without networking)
3   Multi-User mode, console logins only
4   Not used/User-definable
5   Multi-User mode, with display manager as well as console logins (X11)
6   Reboot

    So, when specifying a runlevel in chkconfig, you tell the service if it should be on or off in a certain runlevel.
