Services are disabled, but...

Alright, alright... I know this is a stupid aesthetic detail, but...

Having added the "service-control" rpm to my SME 5.1.2 server, I would like the Review Configuration page to properly identify disabled daemons (i.e. even tho web proxy and mta are disabled, there are still entries on the config page that point to non-existent 'web proxy' and 'mail server' hosts).

Also, the service-control rpm doesn't seem to provide any facility for disabling the dns server on the sme box. Is the local dns server required for any functionality? (I guess I'll find out in a few minutes :) I really just want to prune services to only those necessary for specific purposes (i.e. ftp and smb file server only or smtp and webmail only, etc).

It may seem minor, I know, but when implementing an SME server in a mission-critical enterprise, it would be really nice for the review configuration page to reflect the box's actual configuration.

ah, details... ;)
