Hey there, > doing some googling around, it seems famd is doing some DNS stuff, > rpc.statd is monitoring network status, and inetd is providing a bunch > of services i don't really need -- please correct me if i'm wrong! I have no idea what famd is. You probably don't need any inetd services running. You should either turn inetd off, or at least edit /etc/inetd.conf and comment out, well, everything. So basically you can copy inted.conf to a backup file and just make an empty one. You don't need lpd if you're not printing anything. You don't need portmap/rpc.whatever if you're not serving NFS. Turn 'em all off!
