FaxSTF is not a component of OS 9, rather bundled software that came with
your G4.

As long as the "scheduling" features is disabled (Not by default), this is
fine as well. Both points 4 and 5 are NOT RAM using/system patching
extensions. That majority of the new security implementation that allows
Multiple users and Keychain is actually built into the System file, so
either way you're ALWAYS loading a lot of its functionality. Software Update
Engine and Scheduler are merely background applications that run when told.
