Comment out the following lines in /etc/inetd.conf:
  telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/telnetd
telnetd
  login stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/rlogind
rlogind
  shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/remshd
remshd
  exec stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/rexecd
rexecd

By putting # in front of them. You might also comment
out this:

  ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd

Then signal inetd with: inetd -c
And check syslog.log for the results.

While you're at it, comment out:

  bootps finger uucp ntalk auth daytime time echo
discard chargen

These are obsolete or virtually never-used daemons.
You can always
  turn one back on if necessary.

Stephanie
