[Sig] Services running on my Mandrake 7.2 system -- any suggestions on other stuff to disable?

[Randy Kramer]

Here is the edited result of running chkconfig on Mandrake 7.2 running on my *System8* on 2001-02-18, showing only the configuration for runlevel 5 and my intention (that is, to leave a service running or to cancel it).  

Some people might be interested in the *annotated chkconfig on my Mandrake 7.2*, which is unfinished (as are most of these wiki pages).  (If you look at that, you'll see that I made some effort to find out what each of these services does (not always successful).)

It is at http://linuxnote.swiki.net/86.

I'd appreciate suggestions on either anything else I can disable, or any mistakes I'm about to make.  

In order to get meaningful comments, here's what I expect to do with the machine:
-Main purpose: a Linux workstation, some development work
-Secondary purposes:
--An Apache webserver on my local LAN (only), to serve a local (private) wiki
--A Samba client so that it can use resources on Windows machines (later maybe a Samba server as well)

-gpm             5:off   Leave off
-crond           5:on    Leave on
-kheader         5:on    Turn off (I don't think I need this, maybe unless I recompile the kernel or something else)
-netfs           5:on    Leave on so I can mount Samba shares from remote computers
-network         5:on    Leave on?
-random          5:on    Leave on -- might be used for random stuff in freeciv
-rawdevices      5:off   Leave off, I'm running without it now.
-sound           5:on    Turn off, I don't use sound, and sound doesn't work anyway with my on board sound card
-usb             5:off   Leave off
-keytable        5:on    Leave on
-syslog          5:on    Leave on
-xfs             5:on    Leave on
-cups            5:on    Leave on
-httpd           5:on    Leave on
-portmap         5:on    Turn off (per Linc)
-xinetd          5:on    Leave on (see list of individual services at bottom of page)  
-linuxconf       5:on    I'd like to turn this off, unless I really need it for some reason.
-ldap            5:off   Leave off
-inet            5:off   Leave off
-snmpd           5:off   Leave off
-ypbind          5:off   Leave off
-postfix         5:on    I might need this -- the wiki and webserver will send email under certain conditions.  (I don't have sendmail or anything similar configured at this time.)
-amd             5:off   Interesting, this must have been on in my previous installation -- I may turn it back on or leave it off.
-named           5:on    Turn off -- I'm not running a DNS, even for my LAN -- I'm using my ISP's DNS and "host" files.
-nfslock         5:on    Turn off
-lpd             5:on    Turn off?  (Do I need this if I have CUPS running?)
-smb             5:off   Leave off -- not needed for Samba clients, will be needed if I set up a Samba server.
-atd             5:on    Turn off -- do I need this and crond?
-arpwatch        5:off   Leave off
-postgresql      5:on    Turn off -- I eventually expect to run postgresql or mysql, but I certainly don't need both at this time.
-autofs          5:on    Turn off
-squid           5:off   Leave off, although I might become interested later, if I make this box my Internet gateway.
-yppasswdd       5:off   Leave off.
-ypserv          5:off   Leave off.
-ipchains        5:off   Leave off.
-anacron         5:on    Turn off (I hope I don't have much downtime.)
-webmin          5:on    Turn off (I'll administer Apache locally.)
-identd          5:on    Turn off -- the TWiki might want this, but I don't intend for my local TWiki to be authenticated
-jabber          5:off   Leave off
-acpid           5:off   Leave off (except that someday I'll edit cron or do something to let the hard disk spin down when I'm not at the computer -- will this help?)
-bootparamd      5:off   Leave off
-routed          5:off   Leave off
-drakfont        5:on    Turn off (I don't think it is required for xfs.)
-innd            5:off   Leave off
-kudzu           5:on    Turn off -- I'll run it if I need to.
-rstatd          5:off   Leave off
-rusersd         5:off   Leave off
-harddrake       5:on    Turn off (how is this different than kudzu?)
-gated           5:off   Leave off
-mysql           5:on    Might leave on -- plan to use eventually
-zope            5:off   Leave off
-hylafax         5:off   Leave off
-cfd             5:on    Turn off (I don't know what the cfengine is / does)
-xntpd           5:off   Leave off
-heartbeat       5:on    Turn off (I don't know why I'd need it on this machine -- nothing is monitoring it anyway)
-ldirectord      5:off   ?? Maybe I need this if I turn off heartbeat?
-nscd            5:off   Leave off
-fetchmail       5:off   ?? Would fetchmail be required to let Apache send email?  Is it easier to configure than sendmail.?)
-lvs             5:on    Turn off (my Internet gateway is my firewall)
-mon             5:on    ?? I suppose I need this
-mars-nwe        5:off   Leave off
-mcserv          5:off   Leave off
