  17. Daemons are programs that sort of hang around in the background waiting 
  18. for stuff to happen, like incoming telnet or ftp connections, or changes 
  19. in the system preferences, stuff like that. When these things happen, the 
  20. dameons do whatever they're supposed to do.
  21.  
  22. Demons are minions of Satan, residing in Hell, if you believe in that 
  23. sort of thing.
