Help: Securing dtremote sessions

Hi Sun Managers:
 
I'm looking to lock down an environment. Most people today use *cough*
telnet to this server, or they have a Sun workstation, and they use the CDE
remote login feature.
 
Having worked mostly in X-based environments, can someone help me understand
the networking and protocols underneath these dtlogin/dtremote sessions? In
other words, if I shut down the normal "plain-text" protocols such as
telnet, ftp, etc., will the remote CDE still work?
 
I also ran a security scan, and it turned up many RPC-based vulnerabilities.
Which RPC services can I safely shutdown? NFS is surely going away. Any
others?
 
Thanks in advance.
 
I'll summarize.
