lol...I don't know.Almost all of em.I'm not at the desktop right now.

I am not sure how to bring up a list of Services or Processes so that I can select which ones to run at Startup and which ones to prevent from running at Startup.

I found a process, using System Monitor, called polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1. If this is a process that I need to prevent from running at Startup, how do I do that?

In Ubuntu 9.10 the System Menu no longer contains Sessions or Services Menus.

buschbarber go to "System -->Administration --> Boot-up Manager" you will find all your services ect there!!

Just for your reference buschbarber, 'Sessions' has been renamed to 'Startup Applications' found in System>Preferences. However, services you will find as per DarkChilds reply.

Cheers.

Thank you!!
I come from a Windows backround where MSConfig lets me enable or disable Startup items such as processes and services.

I see that the things you mentioned give me similar capabilities in from a GUI standpoint. I am a ways from being a Command Line guy but I am slowly moving in that direction.

Is the policykit authentication agent an important part of Ubuntu Security?

The Authentication boxes I see when I Restart look similar to the ones on the following link:

Yep "policykit authentication agent" is very important. I will suggest that you just forget about the password prompt that you get on startup or just wait until Ultimate Edition 2.5 is released to see how things play out!!

OK!!
