Sorry to drone on. How can I tell if I need atd? Just turn it off & see if anything explodes?
How can I tell whether I'm actually using crond or anacron? Or both? How can I tell if something local is using sendmail for logging? How can I test that my firewall is preventing sendmail from accepting connections from outside? I ran the kudzu stop script, but left it on in chkconfig so that it will run on reboot. Is this necessary, or can I disable it if I don't add/remove any hardware? My next goal is to figure out what all those processes listed by ps -ef are. Presumably they map to the services somehow. Mostly. TB
