[SunHELP] Killing default services, fixing tar, and installin g pkg's ...

Easiest way to shutdown services is the classic way, comment the unneeded
services from /etc/inetd.conf then HUP the inetd daemon.

I've been using Sun's tar since v2.5 and I've never had a problem with it.
A long time ago it had a 2G limit but that's no longer a problem.

I just finished my default install of Solaris 9 (yay!). Now I'm working on
getting things installed, uninstalled, etc. I have a few questions. Keep in
mind all of this is being done via console - this is a headless server.

1.) First of all I need to lock things down a little bit ... Here is my
current nmap output
22/tcp     open        ssh
25/tcp     open        smtp
111/tcp    open        sunrpc
587/tcp    open        submission
898/tcp    open        unknown
4045/tcp   open        lockd
7100/tcp   open        font-service
32774/tcp  open        sometimes-rpc11
32775/tcp  open        sometimes-rpc13
32776/tcp  open        sometimes-rpc15
32777/tcp  open        sometimes-rpc17
32778/tcp  open        sometimes-rpc19
32779/tcp  open        sometimes-rpc21
32780/tcp  open        sometimes-rpc23
32786/tcp  open        sometimes-rpc25
32787/tcp  open        sometimes-rpc27

I currently only need ssh, mysql, and the ability to mount NFS shares from
other boxes on this particular server. How/where do I kill all of these
services?

2.) I've heard that Sun's tar is no good - where do I go to get a different
one?

3.) I need to install nmap and wget - where do I get it and how do you
install
them? Are they on the cdrom? Dare I ask how to mount the cdrom?

My main background is Linux and BSD's - so translations are welcome :)
