Hi, I'm in the process of trying to secure my system.  I have pmfirewall set up and working well, but there are a lot of holes still.  One of the things that I am trying to do is minimize unnecessary startup services, both for speed and security.  I've shut a bunch down, mostly servers that I'm not running, but there are a few that I'm not sure about.
 
Namely:
 
xfs
rawdevices
network
irda
fetchmail
Do I need these to run a home workstation, (connected to the internet, but not wanting to run any servers or anything like that at this time)?
