I have read about commenting out services such as telnet and ftp in
/etc/services. I also know by turning off inetd at boot that people
cannot telnet or ftp in whatsoever. Is there more one can do? Notice
that turning off inetd does not hamper your ability to get online or
use online resources. People have attacked NT boxes with admin
passwords set to none also. Other than turning off inetd are there
other passageways to a system?
