进程	描述
init	The Unix program which spawns all other processes.
biod	Works in cooperation with the remote nfsd to handle client NFS requests.
dhcpd	Dynamically configure TCP/IP information for clients.
fingerd	Provides a network interface for the finger protocol, as used by the finger command.
ftpd	Services FTP requests from a remote system. It listens at the port specified in the services file for ftp.
httpd	Web server daemon.

lpd	The line printer daemon that manages printer spooling.
nfsd	Processes NFS operation requests from client systems. Historically each nfsd daemon handled one request at a time, so it was normal to start multiple copies.
ntpd	Network Time Protocol daemon that manages clock synchronization across the network. xntpd implements the version 3 standard of NTP.
rpcbind	Handles conversion of remote procedure calls (RPC), such as from ypbind.
sshd	Listens for secure shell requests from clients.
sendmail	SMTP daemon.
swapper	Copies process regions to swap space in order to reclaim physical pages of memory for the kernel. Also called sched.
syslogd	System logger process that collects various system messages.
syncd	Periodically keeps the file systems synchronized with system memory.
xfsd	Serve X11 fonts to remote clients.
vhand	Releases pages of memory for use by other processes. Also known as the "page stealing daemon"
ypbind	Find the server for an NIS domain and store the information in a file.
