I am not sure what "better" is comparing to. I don't know that there is
consistency between distros with respect to commenting out sshd in
inetd.conf or not, so no particular approach to commenting lines in the
openssh.lrp package can work in all cases.
However, if a block like the following were included in the startup
script...
if [ -n "`grep ^smtp /etc/inetd.conf`" ]; then
exit 0
fi
then only inetd.conf would have to get changed to switch between modes.
Having offered this, I don't think that this is necessarily a good idea...
if someone wanted to turn off sshd, commenting it out in inetd.conf might
be a sensible thing to do, yet the approach above could prove even more
surprising than the current "edit-in-two-places" approach. It is
important to maintain the principle of minimum surprise as much as
possible.
