I just wonder if there are things maybe under the hood that get ran.

Not necessarily daemons, or services, but just init processes in general which could be permanently killed without causing any dammage.

I did disable spotlight indexing on one of my macs and now I can't seem to re-enable it. Every time I issue the terminal command to do it, it won't work. It keeps outputting that it's still disabled.

I figure that one out though. It may just take me doing a little research. If nothing else, I'll just reimage my drive to a snapshot before I did that. It's not a big deal.

Chris.

OS X defaults with everything off.

Anything that shares over the network is a service. Check the Sharing section in System Preferences for those in OS X, iTunes Sharing preferences for those in iTunes, Server (if you bought it) for those in OS X Server, Messages Preferences for those in Messages. And so on.

Which services you want depends on what kind of machine it is. Laptops should of course run fewer services, as they travel about a lot; you don’t want just anybody being able to share your iTunes library, in many cases. But maybe that’s fine on your home network.

I’m very tired at this point so I can’t give a more thorough answer, but hope this helps.
