In the context of the "services turned on by default
by redhat or whatever distro" what I meant was, how do
I tell if redhat has set up some at jobs. Answer is,
execute "atq" as root.

Again, in this context the result of the above just
tells me they're running, not whether I am actually
using them. Is it ever a good idea to run both? Red
Hat apparently set up some anacron jobs, but I can't
find any cron jobs, should I turn cron off if I don't
intend to use it myself?

Well, I mean how do I know if some background job is
using sendmail for some legitimate purpose so I don't
want to turn it off. Looking in /var/log did not clue
me in. I'm just turning it off, let's see what
happens.
Also...
When I execute "chkconfig sendmail off" and then
"chkconfig --list|grep sendmail" I get:
sendmail 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:off 4:off
5:off 6:off
Do I want to turn it off on run level 2? What is level
2? I tried man chkconfig, man runlevel, and man rc.d &
got no clue. Where should I be looking?
cheers,
