I believe this is for what it is network, I think you need it for all
network type things such as ppp and LAN.

:gated

If your not running through another computer for internet access or
network access you are fine, if you have a direct connection to the net
you can turn this off. (unless you use ipmaskarading)

:rusersd rwalld rwhod

These are for other computers to send you wall messages and to be able to
do a who on your machine from a remote host.

:amd autofs

Turn these off unless you are on a LAN and plan on mounting different nfs
volumes.

:local

I will pass on this one.
