I am pretty sure that the only daemons that you need to start are the following (although I could be missing a few) Also note that unless you plan on using NIS, I don't think that you need to start ypserv & ypbind (if you are using NIS, They start up automatically so there is no reason to add them to you /etc/rc.local) USER PID %CPU %MEM VSIZE RSIZE TT STAT TIME COMMAND root 732 12.2 8.6 1.77M 704K p2 R 0:00 ps aux root 57 0.0 2.9 6.37M 240K ?
