Though this only works if you have a console log in, so you may need to disable
xdm/kdm/gdm which most distros install by default these days.
Also check your /etc/init.d for programs that you don't need, such as telnetd

Quoting Michael Walters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hello All,
I am curious as to what the boot log is called and how to scroll back and forth through it.
If I could scroll back and forth through my boot log I believe that I could learn a little bit about how my computer boots into Linux and could perhaps trim the boot daemons a little for security purposes and use only the necessary boot daemons for my purposes. I seem to remember Szemir saying something to that effect on one of his presentations on security and common sense.
Regards,
