I know I saw pcscd and openct on by default (something about smart cards - I don't have a smart card read, I turn them off). (A really good idea in Fedora 8 since pcscd seems to do nothing but infinite loop). I also get bluetooh services on by default (no bluetooth hardware either), isdn service on by default (no isdn adapter :-), etc. I have no raid disks, but I get mdmonitor on be default. I have selinux disabled, but setroubleshoot and restorecond are on anyway (and I forgot mcstrans). I use cups rather than the HP printing system but hplip is on by default. I've read the description of the rpm that avahi-daemon comes with and I still can't figure out what the heck it does, but I left in on in case it was important :-). I disable the firewall, but it still starts ip6tables and iptables. I don't do any scsi device sharing, but it still starts iscsi and iscsid. I run mail via POP3 to my ISP, I don't need sendmail running. I poll for updates when I'm ready, I don't need yum-updatesd running. That's the ones I can remember changing, there were probably others.
