I am using RedHat 7.2 on a notebook and have no need for some daemons that were installed. One in particular is sendmail. I noticed in /etc/rc.d/rc.3 (system boots to console), that there are sym links to all the daemons that seem to start, so is it safe to delete the symlinks to disable that service, or is there a different way. By the way, I noticed the daemons have a number before the name, eg. S80sendmail
