The only service of those that is actually somewhat in use is the time
service... if you happen to be running an NTP (Network Time Protocol)
Server. This allows other machines to sync their time to your HP box,
although it's recommended that you use an entirely seperate machine to act
as an NTP service if you're serious about security on the HP.
You can safely remove all of these from your inetd.conf (just comment them
out).
Hope that helps,
James

Subject: [HPADM] What are these services and do I need them?
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.
