Hi,
What are these services?

sshd
xfs
crond

If there are not needed, how do I turn them off?

Cheers

sshd = ssh daemon, for secure shell. like telnet but more secure. disable from your startup scripts.

xfs = a high performance journaling filesystem. i wouldn't disable this. http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/index.html

crond = cron job daemon. to schedule automated tasks on your system. man cron for more info.

No, Tricky prolly ment you should disable telnetd if you got it running. It's run from (x)inetd, plz look at the man, config.

And hold on desabling xfs - it's not a journaling system (just a name collapse) it is the X font service.
