Subject: Disabling ftp and email

I've got a Disaster Recovery test coming up soon, and our customer wants to
run some work in order to check performance.

In order to prevent this from interfering with the real production systems -
all of these systems are on the same network - I need to disable outgoing
FTP and email from some of the DR systems.

What is the simplest way of doing this?

At the moment, I'm thinking of commenting out ftp in /etc/inetd.conf, and
removing /etc/sendmail.cf.

Any reason that won't work? Any neater solutions?
