Thanks WM - that was what I thought ... but wasn't sure.

I just located a pretty neat script that disables unnecessary services using chkconfig. Obviously, anyone reading needs to adjust the list according to their own needs (the author of the script does not use a GUI, so those of you who do, please take care in running it 'as is'; he also disables services which I view as pretty necessary [cron, ssh, sendmail, etc]):

Disabling Services

Like most distributions, FC2 comes with a "kitchen sink" of configured services. I use the following script (adjsvc) and the following data file (services.lst) to shut off those services I don't need.

adjsvc

#!/bin/bash

action=$1
if [ -z "$action" ]; then
action=off
fi

for svc in $(< services.lst); do
echo $svc
chkconfig --level 35 $svc $action
done

services.lst

acpid
anacron
apmd
atd
autofs
cpuspeed
crond
cups
iptables
irqbalance
isdn
kudzu
mdmonitor
mdmpd
messagebus
microcode_ctl
netfs
nfslock
pcmcia
portmap
rawdevices
readahead
readahead_early
rhnsd
rpcgssd
rpcidmapd
rpcsvcgssd
sendmail
smartd
sshd
xinetd
