Hello, I am wondering what services are required and which can be disabled on DNSOnly boxes - e.g. do I actually need to run EXIM on my DNSOnly installations? Thanks!

  Hello :) Exim is installed is so that cPanel can send system notifications to root or the server contact e-mail address. Thank you.

  Ah, that is what I thought. What services can be disabled on DNSOnly? I'd like to run them lean to only provide the DNS service.

  cPanel DNS-Only only includes services that it actually utilizes. Thus, you don't have to disable any of the services that are enabled by default. Thank you.

  Say someone disabled services on a DNS-Only box; what would the default enabled services be?

  Here's a list of the default enabled services, as obtained from the /etc/chkserv.d/chkservd.conf file on a DNS-Only server:
  cphulkd cpsrvd crond exim ipaliases mysql named queueprocd rsyslogd sshd
  Additional services are available through "WHM Home " Service Configuration " Service Manager" and some of them are enabled during the initial setup wizard. Thank you.
