I see you are using redhat so just open an xterm and run, as root, setup and select the config in the menu then just turn off services from startup that you donut need .

To keep sendmail from listening you need to edit /etc/rc.conf
and add sendmail_enable="NO" Also adding syslogd_enable="YES" and
syslogd_flags="-ss" is a good thing, it will keep the systemlogdaemon from listening on an outside port but you still get logging. You can kill sendmail completely with "NONE" instead of "NO" but i have seen others say it can cause problems by doing that. You will need reboot to get /etc/rc.conf changes to take effect. man rc.conf will give you other options for the file.

yes you must be root... are you part of the wheel group? if yes just type in "su" at the terminal and type in your root password

Everyone is in a group by default you are just in the incorrect group

Now either delete your user account and this time when you adduser select wheel as your group. This is the newbie way for the ones afraid of the vi

Or log in as root and edit /etc/group

/etc/group and edit the 'group' file so the first line is like this:
wheel:*:0:root,user

'user' being the name of the user you want to add
