On the other hand, there are a large number of services running
on modern systems whose purposes are shrouded in mystery for me,
and I would imagine most users.
I see from "chkconfig --list" that I have 37 services running,
17 of which are complete mysteries to me.
Could I safely turn off rpcgssd? Who knows.
There's very little black magic inside a unix-like OS. Services usually
map one program to one very specific job and if you don't need that job
done you can stop it. However as things become more plug-n-play with
autodetection of devices, etc. you may find you need more things running
just in case.
