Minimum services

There's no one answer to that.  For example if you use smart cards then
you need pcscd, if not: not.  Only "you" know what "you" "need".

You can list the possible services with

chkconfig --list

and there will be low hanging fruit for most people like isdn, which you
can disable like this

chkconfig isdn off
