SUSE uses the SYSV init system instead of the Berkeley
system that has rc.local. In the SYSV init system services are
broken up into individual scripts stored in /etc/init.d. Then
links into those scripts are placed into rul level directories
/etc/rc.N where N is the run level. The linking system is used
so that inidividual services can be chosen for a run level and
so that the order of service start can be specified.

Novell has documentation on the process here:

I'm using it for a discussion in my Intermediate Unix class at Clayton State.
