ports ports and more ports.

Thanks!  I've already got ssh up and running.  Just didn't realize that I
could get rid of login and shell services.  Would disabling those stop
telnet from working correctly, even though you might still have the service
running in inet?  I would guess that it would accept the connection on port
23 but then wouldn't be able to give you a login...
