If you want to disable services, you have to edit /etc/inetd.conf, not
/etc/services. /etc/services lists what services are on what port, but
commenting them out does not disable incomming services. Depending on the
program, it may disable outgoing services, depending on whether the port
they connected is hard coded into the program or read from /etc/services.
Also, not all the services listed in /etc/services are controlled by
inetd. Some of them are stand alone daemons. (sshd is on of the stand
alone daemons.)
