Eeep! NO! you DON'T disable things by commenting them out of /etc/services. That file is just a reference to match names with port numbers. Please don't do this. You're just breaking your own system and not making it any more secure at all. Some servers have a port number hard-coded or fall back to a hard-coded port number if the name can't be matched. The proper way is just to stop the service or to disable the service in /etc/inetd.conf or /etc/xinetd.d/ and restart inetd. -- Jess.
