I'm still unclear why you want to start with RH7 rather than e-smith. You
get the management interface, but you also get a lot of potentially
insecure baggage. For example, we don't install statd, sendmail or
wu-ftpd, which have all had security issues recently.

All which are not already installed. Certainly the e-smith-* ones, but
there are some others (e.g. autopassword) and some which provide fixed
kernel modules.

And some others - see above.

Maybe you could explain why you want to start with RH7 rather than a clean,
stripped e-smith install to which you add the packages you require?
It is usually much harder to work out what you want to remove than what
you need to add.
