I was looking at "About This Mac", and found several services running at startup which I have no intention of using. Is there any way of stopping these? The ones I mean are: Apache web server, Appleshare (file sharing, I presume), Authentication service, Remote desktop, and SNMP server. Another item I found listed was IFCStart. What is IFC?

Mac OS terminology:
"ifcstart is the daemon responsible for rebuilding the file caches used by International components of Mac OS X"
Leave it alone!

None of the things I listed are listed under Login Items.
Under Sharing - Services, remote desktop and file sharing are listed but not enabled, but Apache web server, Authentication service, and SNMP server are not listed there. These things are all listed in About This Mac under Software - Startup Items. Why are these things listed as being started up when the computer starts, but not accessible to be altered?

I'd like to know how to stop Apache from being a startup item, and I don't know why I'd want fibrechannel running at startup either. So where are these things controlled? Through being aliased in the Startup Items folder?

I believe these things only load at startup if they're enabled in the System Preferences for some user on the system. The actual settings are stored in /etc/hostconfig.

I smell a "help! my Mac won't boot" thread in the near future . . .
