I'm upgrading my primary server from RH 7.2 to CentOS-4.3.ServerCD. I REALLY like the ServerCD. Who needs all the fluff that comes with a standard distro? If I want a system-config-gooey I can run Xnest [1] and ssh -X from my laptop. Anyway I have two questions:
1) How can I collectively stop all the NFS, portmap, whatever? I'm hoping it can be manipulated as a group because occationally I actually will want to use NFS.
2) Can I safely turn off dbus, hal, and/or xfs? Or will something really bad happen if I try to run the system-config-gooey's without them?
Thanks, Mike
[1] Although I haven't managed to figure out how to run it without -ac.

hal and dbus you should be able to turn off ... I have never run GUI with xfs off, so I am not sure about that one.

Try chkconfig --list
You can use: chkconfig --list | grep 3:on
to see what will start at boot.
Use: chkconfig <name> off
to inhibit what ever you want to start up and
/etc/init.d/<name> stop
to stop same interactively.
You'll need to experiment a bit, use man, to do some research to figure out how to 'tune' a system.

If you want to collectively make it so that NFS and its counterparts do not start up at boot time, then use chkconfig nfs off. If you just want them to start at boot up and then you stop and start them on your own use service nfs start, and service nfs stop.
