BIND provides local name service or can be used to cache DNS (name 
requests). Name service translates plug.linux.org.au into 202.61.164.81 
and vice versa, and similar things.

wu-FTPd provides FTP service, so you can connect to your machine 
remotely and list/transfer files. And send your passwords in plaintext 
(oh, well).
