Personally, I'd leave BIND, unless you're willing to leave all DNS lookups
to other systems. usermode is proabably good to leave around, since
you're providing shell access (telnet and ssh), lpr can go, if you're not
printing.
ypbind has to do with NIS, if I recall correctly...if you're not serving
up NIS info, that can probably go...I'd "man mailx" first to double check
its necessity, and I'm not sure what umb-scheme is, either.
