I looked at /etc/services and.. oh, my God! Witch services can I turn off?
I just want www, pop-3 and sendmail services, but I am afraid of turning
off some services and compromise something I do not know...

Do you have some sites or white papers talking specifically about that?

By the way, are all (important) logs in /var/log ?
