Which operating systems? On windows the most common way to to disable services from the control panel. Do a netstat -an to see which ports are open. Then you can shutdown services that have those ports open.
On UNIX/LINUX you can do the same netstat -an. Most of the services can be disabled in inetd.conf or xinted.conf. Just comment them out and restart inetd daemon. Also services are started from startup scripts which are in different locations on different versions of UNIX and Linux.
