[SunHELP] Shutting down ports...

[Joe Pampel]

to find out what program is tying up which port, use lsof -i :<portnum>
Find out where those programs load and stop them from loading (for RC.x
files,
change S to s in name for ex.)

comment out everything you don't need in inetd.conf  You should do this
anyhow IMHO as by default you run all sorts of useless junk like chargen etc.

man inetd
man inetd.conf

This should give you a much more solid understanding of why these services
are
being started. Then after you are done with that, you might also want to:

man iinit
