Avoid writing policy for user applications until you thoroughly understand SELinux and your security goals for that application.

Since most NFS clients use version 3, not version 4, these daemons are quite often safe to disable. The easy way to tell which version you use is by checking your /etc/fstab and /etc/auto.* files. If you use the fstype "nfs", you're using protocol version 3. If you see "nfs4", then you're using protocol version 4, and require these daemons. rpcgssd, rpcsvcgssd and rpcidmapd are only used by version 4 of the NFS protocol.

Well done. If this isn't already available in the online Red Hat documentation, it would probably find more readers there. It would also be useful to know how to configure IP tables ports for various services, like for CUPS, NFS and Samba. And speaking of Samba, maybe nmb and smb should be in this list.

The two programs perform different tasks. If your system generates mail messages (eg, the daily logwatch), then you probably need to run sendmail or postfix.
