[edit] List of Services
[edit] acpid

[edit] anacron
Run cron jobs that were left out due to downtime
[edit] apmd

[edit] bluetooth
[edit] cpuspeed
Run dynamic CPU speed daemon
From Fedora Core 1 Release Notes: The kernel includes support for CPU clock throttling control using the /proc/cpufreq file. In order to use this feature, you must load one of the following modules:
- longhaul.o
- p4-clockmod.o
- longrun.o
- speedstep-centrino.o
- powernow-k6.o
- powernow-k7.o
- speedstep-ich.o
- speedstep-lib.o
Using cat to display the file results in output similar to the following:
minimum CPU frequency - maximum CPU frequency - policy
CPU 0 1200000 ( 75%) - 1600000 (100%) - performance
This means that CPU 0 has a minimum clock frequency of 1.2GHz, a maximum clock frequency of 1.6GHz, and is set to maximize performance.
To change these settings, use the following command:
echo -n "<cpu><delimiter><min><delimiter><max><delimiter><policy>" > /proc/cpufreq
(Where <cpu> represents a CPU number starting at 0 (and can be omitted if all CPUs are to use the same settings), <min> is the minimum clock frequency (which can be specified as a percentage or in KHz), <max> is the maximum clock frequency (which can be specified as a percentage or in KHz), and <policy> is the desired policy, which is either powersave or performance. NOTE: For <delimiter> you must use ":" as the delimiter when specifying frequencies, and "%" when specifying percentages.)
It is also possible to set minimum, maximum, and policy using the following boot-time parameter:
cpufreq=<min>:<max>:<policy>
(Where <policy> is as before. However, <min> and <max> have the same meanings as before, but must be specified in KHz. Note that it is not possible to specify a CPU number; the settings are applied to all available CPUs.
NOTE: The values entered are validated according to hardware or thermal considerations; therefore, a subsequent display of /proc/cpufreq may differ from the desired settings. Note also that automatic manipulation of CPU frequency is currently limited; some hardware may support this, but little software-based solutions presently exist.

[edit] haldaemon
Summary: Hardware Abstraction Layer
Description: HAL is daemon for collection and maintaining information from several sources about the hardware on the system. It provdes a live device list through D-BUS.
http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/hal/
[edit] httpd
apache 2.0
[edit] hpoj
init script and device setup utility for the HP OfficeJet Linux driver.
[edit] iptables
firewall
[edit] irda
Infrared communications
[edit] irqbalance
The irqbalance daemon will distribute interrupts across the cpus on a multiprocessor system with the purpose of spreading the load.
[edit] isdn
ISDN services
[edit] kudzu
Hardware Detection
[edit] lisa
LISa is a small daemon which is intended to run on end user systems. It provides something like a "network neighbourhood", but only relying on the TCP/IP protocol stack, no smb or whatever. The information about the hosts in your "neighbourhood" is provided via TCP port 7741.
[edit] mdmonitor
mdadm-based software RAID monitoring and management facility
[edit] mdmpd
mdmpd-based multipath device monitoring and management facility
[edit] mDNSResponder
Rendevous
[edit] messagebus
This is a daemon which broadcasts notifications of system events and other messages. See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/
[edit] microcode_ctl
script to apply cpu microcode
[edit] netdump
Initialize console side of netconsole and netcrashdump facility
[edit] netfs
Mounts and unmounts all Network File System (NFS), SMB/CIFS (Lan Manager/Windows), and NCP (NetWare) mount points.
[edit] netplugd
netplugd is a daemon for managing non-static network interfaces.
[edit] network
Activates/Deactivates all network interfaces configured to start at boot time.
[edit] NetworkManager
[edit] nfs
NFS is a popular protocol for file sharing across TCP/IP networks. This service provides NFS server functionality, which is configured via the /etc/exports file.
[edit] nfslock
NFS is a popular protocol for file sharing across TCP/IP networks. This service provides NFS file locking functionality.
[edit] nifd
Renevous
[edit] nscd
[edit] ntpd
Time Server and Client
[edit] pcmcia
PCMCIA support is usually to support things like ethernet and modems in laptops. It won't get started unless configured so it is safe to have it installed on machines that don't need it.
[edit] portmap
The portmapper manages RPC connections, which are used by protocols such as NFS and NIS. The portmap server must be running on machines which act as servers for protocols which make use of the RPC mechanism.
[edit] psacct
Script to control kernel process accounting
[edit] random
Pseudo-Random Number Generator Saves and restores system entropy pool for higher quality random number generation.
[edit] rawdevices
This scripts assignes raw devices to block devices (such as hard drive partitions). This is for the use of applications such as Oracle. You can set up the raw device to block device mapping by editing the file /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices.
[edit] readahead
This service causes the programs used during startup to be loaded into memory before they are needed, thus improving startup performance
[edit] readahead_early
This service causes the programs used during startup to be loaded into memory before they are needed, thus improving startup performance.
[edit] rhnsd
This is a daemon which handles the task of connecting periodically to the Red Hat Network servers to check for updates, notifications and perform system monitoring tasks according to the service level that this server is subscribed for.
[edit] rpcgssd
