Can anybody tell me what the following services do and the
ramifications of disabling them?


# GSS Daemon
#
100234/1 tli rpc/ticotsord wait root /usr/lib/gss/gssd gssd
#
# AMI Daemon
#
100146/1 tli rpc/ticotsord wait root /usr/lib/security/amiserv amiserv
100147/1 tli rpc/ticotsord wait root /usr/lib/security/amiserv amiserv


Thanks!

gssd (generic security service daemon) is used as part of secure RPC
(particularly NFS,kerberos) - if you're not using secure rpc then its
ok to disable.

amiserv is used for smartcard support - again if you dont need this
then disable.

Kind Regards

Stuart
