Turn this off if you don't have software RAID (md) volumes.

> rhnsd            0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
Useless in Fedora, turn it off.

> isdn            0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
Turn off if your Internet connection isn't an ISDN line.

> mdmonitor       0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
Turn this off as well if you don't have RAID.

If the machine is not a laptop with PCMCIA slots, turn this off.

These aren't really security related, just making your machine boot faster.
