For any services you don't want running, just go into /etc/inetd.conf and
comment them out... i.e., put a pound sign (#) at the beginning of the
line they're in. The next time you boot up, they won't be running. Or
you could run (as root)
kill -HUP pid
where pid is inetd's pid (gotten from the ps command).
