→Investigation 5: How do we turn system services on and off?
{{Admon/note|Determining Required Services|You should understand that while most services in this list are often not needed, or are needed under circumstances different than those which occur here, there may be situations in which some of them are required, and it may be up to you as an administrator to determine which services are needed, and which should be turned off.
You can find out some basic information about a particular service by querying <code>rpm</code> for information about the package that installed the service file in <code>/etc/rc.d/init.d</code>. For example, to find out about the <code>cups</code> service, execute: <code>rpm -qif /etc/rc.d/init.d/cups</code>}}
