I'm trying to keep as few things running as possible on my OpenBSD box. On startup after logging in as root it lists these things as running:

/sbin/init
syslogd
pflogd
portmap
inetd
/usr/sbin/sshd

I know what pflogd is but I haven't found out how to disable it yet since I don't think it's really needed. I also know what sshd is but haven't had the chance to disable it yet as I'm not sure what file starts it. That leaves 4 others running. Which of those can I safely disable? And where do I disable them from? /etc/rc, /etc/rc.conf, etc?

Have the perfect site for you. Read it thorougly and not only can you limit the services running on your OpenBSD box, but you really tighten the security on the box.

Hope this helps.
