bad

both, running a not needed daemon as well as open the port in the firewall
you should diable any unused daemon and close *any* incoming port
except for the services you offer

no, you do not need it on a server

the only useful for me is discover netatalk/AFP on the LAN so
the fileserver appears in the finder of Apple-Clients and
even this is not hardly needed because "connect to
server -> afp:/dfdfd/" works well enough
