Yay!  People are actually writing in the Wiki.  I had given up a while
ago.

One correction:
sgi_fam        sgi-fam is a security-related daemon that can monitor
system file integrity and network access attempts.  I've never tried to
configure it, and I don't know of any compelling arguements for or
against it.

I don't think sgi-fam is about security.  I think it is used by
applications like Nautilus or kfmclient to know when files change, so
they can instantly update the view rather than needing a refresh.  I
could be wrong though.

I used to turn off xinetd completely on desktops/workstations, but I now
keep it enabled only for sgi_fam.
