hello,

upon runnign portscan on my computer from a nonlocal host, I get the
following:

9 -> discard
13 -> daytime
21 -> ftp
22 -> ssh
23 -> telnet
25 -> smtp
37 -> time
79 -> finger
80 -> www
110 -> pop-3
111 -> sunrpc
113 -> auth

as I use pretty much all of the "standard" daemons, I don't know what
'discard', 'daytime', 'time', 'sunrpc', and 'auth' are....if anyone can
suggest ways for turning these off, I'd appreciate it (inetd.conf doesn't
do  have anything that I've not checked as far as I know).  I especially
need help with sunrpc, as it's nowhere to be found in rc*...

also, can somone give me a straight answer on how to restart initd?  I've
heard 'kill -HUP inetd', but it gives me an error of not being able to
find it...I just kill it by pid, nad restart it manually (type 'inetd').

thanks!!!!
