You appear to be correct with these two. My gut tells me these types of things would be loaded when the corresponding devices are plugged into the system, but if that's wrong, surely someone here will speak up. > Regarding CAM I have absolutely no idea why the module is loaded either. That's the SCSI/ATA subsystem; if this is the only of your firewalls to have this module, perhaps it has different disk adapter hardware than the others or another sysadmin decided to load it manually? > Are there any ways of finding what programs, if any, require or use said > modules ? I'd probably start with judicious use of sysutils/lsof to find any programs that have the relevant device nodes open. "grep -Rl" through your binary directories might also find something, but I'd expect a very high false-positive rate with that.
