After loading the standard daemons like inetd, cron and sendmail, my freeBSD servers loads some additional daemons which I do not want to load. I can not find where they are specified. I checked rc.conf and rc.local. Where can i find any additional daemons.

There is somewhere in the sysinstall program where you can configure which daemons start at boot. You can also check around in /etc/rc.d for things that start at bootup. I'm running FreeBSD 4.2 on my server, and editing files in the rc.d is how I get things to start on bootup. Check around freebsd.org and other freebsd websites to get more detail than I can give you here, and you'll have an easier time getting only the daemons you want running.

Some daemons are started indirectly. For instance, when init changes state it performs actions described in /etc/inittab. Some things will get started that way.

Network daemons are frequently started as needed by inetd and are described in /etc/inetd.conf.
