  With Mandrake 7.2, they no longer use inetd, they use xinetd, which =

/etc/xinetd.conf, but it still allows it, so I removed telnet from =
/etc/xinet.d/ and now telnet is blocked, but FTP still is going, does =
anyone know how to disable FTP on Mandrake 7.2?


  I'm also getting these messages in my secure log:

  I'm not sure if I should be concerned about this or not, but since I =
havent FTP'd in from root, I should be.. I guess?
