>Is there any definitive list of services that need to stay on on server >in graphics mode? Right now when I get a new server, I first disable all services chkconfig --list | awk '{print "chkconfig --level 12345 "$1" off"}'|sh And then I enable these ones: chkconfig --level 1235 acpid on chkconfig --level 1235 auditd on chkconfig --level 1235 atd on chkconfig --level 1235 crond on chkconfig --level 1235 dnsmasq on chkconfig --level 1235 irqbalance on chkconfig --level 1235 iscsi on chkconfig --level 1235 scsid on chkconfig --level 1235 libvirt-guests on chkconfig --level 1235 libvirtd on chkconfig --level 1235 lvm2-monitor on chkconfig --level 1235 network on chkconfig --level 1235 rsyslog on chkconfig --level 1235 sshd on chkconfig --level 1235 vncserver on chkconfig --level 1235 virt-who on chkconfig --level 1235 udev-post on But I cannot ever start in graphics mode (init 5). What am I missing here? Note: I don't need firewall, selinux, etc. Just the minimum services for a server. Federico
