[SunHELP] Shutting down ports...

[sunhelp at sunhelp.org]

/etc/services defines what port is going to be in use for what service.
/etc/inetd.conf tells inetd daemon what service to start with which
parameters.

Comment out what you do not need from these 2 files, then force inetd to
reread them using HUP signal or just reboot.
