I am trying to figure out which network services I should have running
and which ones are a waste of our resources.  By default, we seem to
have ALL network services running so I was wondering if anyone could
help me determine which ones we need and which ones we don't.  We are
currently using reflection to vt into our hp3000, we use NBSPOOL for
printing to our network printers, and we will FTP and TELNET out to
various sites.
We are not using SQL yet, but will plan on implementing this in the
future.  Can anyone help me identify what we need and what we don't
need?  I don't seem to have the manuals that speak to this topic so I'm
looking for some help.  Thanks in advance.

This is the output of NSCONTROL STATUS on our system:
