The short answer is only run the processes that you need. There will be a difference in necessary processes between enterprises and even between servers within an enterprise. As an example here is a part of my kickstart file. chkconfig --level 0123456 lpd off chkconfig --level 0123456 netfs off chkconfig --level 0123456 isdn off chkconfig --level 0123456 wu-ftpd off chkconfig --level 2345 sendmail on chkconfig --level 2345 ntpd on chkconfig --level 0123456 wine off chkconfig --level 0123456 named off You can see, I don't print from this server, so I shutdown lpd. Think about what you use, and shutdown that which you don't. xinetd may be one to consider.
