Hi All,

I'm busy on a project where I'm "hardening" up our host security on our
servers. I'm trying to find out what the following are and what the
facilitate so I can determine if I can remove them from my inetd.conf.
Thanks for any help offered.

daytime stream tcp nowait root internal
daytime dgram udp nowait root internal
time stream tcp nowait root internal
time dgram udp nowait root internal
echo stream tcp nowait root internal
echo dgram udp nowait root internal
discard stream tcp nowait root internal
discard dgram udp nowait root internal
chargen stream tcp nowait root internal
chargen dgram udp nowait root internal

Rgds,
