dhcpd - "Dynamic Host Control Protocol Daemon" Used to assign ip addresses
and other networking information (e.g. Host name, domain name server (dns),
domain name) to hosts upon bootup.
innd - "Internet Network News Daemon" Used to send and receive network news
(newsgroups).
kudzu - Program developed to allow linux to auto-detect and install new
hardware during the boot process.
ldap - "Lightweight Directory Access Protocol" a protocol for accessing
online directory services.
network - Huh? what are you referring to?
postfix - A replacement for sendmail.
usb - "Universal Serial Bus" Must be running for linux to use devices
attached to your USB port.
xntpd - "Network Time Protocol Daemon" Used to connect to time servers,
adjusting your systems time. It also provides the capability for you to run
a time server. So other computers can synchronize with yours.
Hope that helps.

That was very helpful, but it still leaves dhcpd, innd, kudzu, ldap,
network, postfix, usb, and xntpd unexplained!
