[Unnecessary and not printer installed on the server] The rhs-printfilters package contains a set of print filters, which are primarily meant to be used with the Red Hat printtool. [Unnecessary and not printer installed on the server] Texinfo is a documentation system that can produce both online information and printed output from a single source file. [Unnecessary] Bind-utils contains a collection of utilities for querying DNS (Domain Name Service) name servers to find out information about Internet hosts. [We will compile it later on this documentation]. The rdate utility retrieves the date and time from another machine on your network, using the protocol described in RFC 868. [Security risks] The rdist program maintains identical copies of files on multiple hosts. If possible, rdist will preserve the owner, group, mode and mtime of files and it can update programs that are executing. [Security risks] The ucd-snmp package contains various utilities for use with the UCD-SNMP network management project. [Unnecessary, Security risks] The indexhtml package contains the HTML page and graphics for a welcome page shown by your Web browser, which you'll see after you've successfully installed Red Hat Linux. [Unnecessary] Chkfontpath is a simple terminal mode program for adding, removing and listing the directories contained in the X font server's path. [Unnecessary] Linux IP Firewalling Chains is an update to (and hopefully an improvement upon) the normal Linux Firewalling codes, for 2.0 and 2.1 kernels. It let’s you do things like firewalls, IP masquerading, etc. [Unnecessary, not a firewall server] The Network Information Service (NIS) is a system, which provides network information (login names, passwords, home directories, group information) to all of the machines on a network. [Security risks] The knfsd is the *new* kernel NFS server and related tools. It provides a much higher level of performance than the traditional Linux user-land NFS server. [Security risks] The lpr package provides the basic system utility for managing printing services. [Unnecessary and not printer installed on the server] The portmapper program is a security tool which prevents theft of NIS (YP), NFS and other sensitive information via the portmapper. A portmapper manages RPC connections, which are used by protocols like NFS and NIS. [Unnecessary, Security risks] The routed routing daemon handles incoming RIP traffic and broadcasts outgoing RIP traffic about network traffic routes, in order to maintain current routing tables. These routing tables are essential for a networked computer, so that it knows where packets need to be sent. [Unnecessary, Security risks] The rwho command displays output similar to the output of the who command (it shows who is logged in) for all machines on the local network running the rwho daemon. [Security risks] The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is normally used only for booting diskless workstations. The tftp package provides the user interface for TFTP, which allows users to transfer files to and from a remote machine. [Security risks, Unnecessary] SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for network management (hence the name). [Unnecessary, Security risks] This is a font server for XFree86. You can serve fonts to other X servers remotely with this package, and the remote system will be able to use all fonts installed on the font server, even if they are not installed on the remote computer.
