	I am also looking at a similar problem.  But I cannot simply kill the
daemon or edit /etc/inetd.conf.  Linux and the various free BSD OS's
have command line utilities for firewalling ports based on incoming IP
address or other parameters (ipfw, ipfwadm, ipchains).  Is there such a
thing for Solaris?  A free one?  It seems like I have to buy another
package every time I want to do something useful...
