Subject: stopping services

Well, I found a book that tells how to make it so services don't start. I
figured I would ask before I screwed myself since I am modifying
/etc/inetd.conf

I got this line:
#<off># netbios-ssn    stream    tcp    nowait    root    /usr/sbin/tcpd    #/usr/sbin/smbd#
and I think placing the # around things comments things off and then on again. 
Am I correct? I think I need samda off so I edited the last entry.


What about this line:
printer stream tcp nowait lp #/usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd cups-lpd#
I donot have a printer at the moment but am planning on getting one. Should I
remove the #s which I inserted?

How about this line:
#<ftp-off>#ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/proftpd
#<disabled> ftp#    stream    tcp    nowait    root    /usr/sbin/tcpd    /usr/sbin/vsftpd
is there a reason I need ftp enabled? Should I also comment out vsftp?


Then there is:
#echo        stream    tcp    nowait    root    internal
#echo        dgram    udp    wait    root    internal
#chargen    stream    tcp    nowait    root    internal
#chargen    dgram    udp    wait    root    internal
which, if my idea about the # is correct, is commented out
According to the text I am using chargen and echo are uneccessay and should be 
commented out.


Please advise.

I wanted to include the text I am reading as a footnote for you to use as
refrence. Unfortunately I am unable to because I don't know how to copy text
out of ghostview.
