Is there an easy way to uninstall some of this stuff I don't want? I already turned off ProFTP and Bind DNS server in the features section with checking both check boxes (one on the left and the default box), but when I try to turn it from from booting and turning off the process in general, I get this:
Executing /etc/init.d/bind9 stop ..
But it is still showing both processes will continue to boot up on restart. how can I stop this from happening? I'm guessing the the connection refused is normal if the process is not running but it seems like proftp is constantly running?
Are you by chance using Ubuntu? There's a bug in Webmin that prevents it from properly interacting with Ubuntu "upstart" jobs, which is what's responsible for launching jobs at bootup.
The next Ubuntu version should fix that... in the meantime, you might just need to manually stop processes you don't want to see at bootup :-)

BIND and ProFTPD do not use Upstart, they use the "oldschool" method.
@hangingclowns: In case of Ubuntu (maybe other systems too) you can verify if the services are correctly disabled at boot by checking the directory
/etc/rc5.d. If you don't see any symlinks there with "bind9" or "proftp" in the name, they're disabled.If they are still enabled, you can turn them off with
Thanks for the prompt replies. I am using Ubuntu. I'll go ahead and do it that way. I also find it strange that is says SSH is not running, but obviously it is since I am able to login through ssh. Is there a list of bugs somewhere?
Also, tried the commands you specified and it is complaining:

The scripts in this directory are executed each time the system enters this runlevel.
The scripts are all symbolic links whose targets are located in /etc/init.d/ .
To disable a service in this runlevel, rename its script in this directory so that the new name begins with a 'K' and a two-digit number, and run 'update-rc.d script defaults' to reorder the scripts according to dependencies. A warning about the current runlevels being enabled not matching the LSB header in the init.d script will be printed. To re-enable the service, rename the script back to its original name beginning with 'S' and run update-rc.d again.
For a more information see /etc/init.d/README.
So sounds like I have to change these names with starting to begin with a K then 2 arbitrary numbers?
Went ahead and tried this and just changed the S to K and kept the number the same, did this in the command line:
user@server:/etc/init.d$ update-rc.d proftpd defaults System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/proftpd already exist. Died at /usr/sbin/update-rc.d line 57.
What's this? I'm guessing it tried to stop the process? My main question is, did it disable it at boot up or not?
