You know I was looking back thru my O'reilly book today and noticed some
more stuff:
They said to ditch routed....shouldn't need it since it's only for dynamic
stuff and all routes on the firewall will be set up staticly.
And if we don't need inetd or portmap we can cut /etc/init.d/netbase as
well.
So, More start up script cuts:
/etc/init.d/netstd_init
/etc/init.d/netbase
