RedHat / Centos minimal services

I always disable most of the services witch are activated by a default Centos 5.3 instalation.

To disable them, run the following commands:

chkconfig anacron off
chkconfig apmd off
chkconfig atd off
chkconfig autofs off
chkconfig cpuspeed off
chkconfig cups off
chkconfig cups-config-daemon off
chkconfig gpm off
chkconfig isdn off
chkconfig netfs off
chkconfig nfslock off
chkconfig openibd off
chkconfig pcmcia off
chkconfig portmap off
chkconfig rawdevices off

chkconfig rpcgssd off
chkconfig rpcidmapd off
chkconfig smartd off
chkconfig xfs off
chkconfig ip6tables off
chkconfig avahi-daemon off
chkconfig firstboot off
chkconfig yum-updatesd off
chkconfig mcstrans off
chkconfig pcscd off
chkconfig bluetooth off
chkconfig hidd off

And you might consider disable this:

chkconfig sendmail off
chkconfig xinetd off
chkconfig acpid off
chkconfig microcode_ctl off
chkconfig irqbalance off
chkconfig haldaemon off
chkconfig messagebus off
chkconfig mdmonitor off
