[ale] xinetd config (RH7.2)

[Gene Matthews]

I'm trying to tighten down a RH7.2 box.  Below is what /etc/xinetd.conf
currently looks like.  I have added the 'disabled' line to the defaults
and sent a SIGUSR2 signal to the xinetd pid.  However, a lot of unwanted
services are still being listened for.  


defaults
{
	disabled
	instances               = 60
        log_type                = SYSLOG authpriv
        log_on_success		= HOST PID
        log_on_failure		= HOST
	cps			= 25 30

}

includedir /etc/xinetd.d



The only thing enabled in /etc/xinetd.d/ is amanda.  However, a 'netstat
-l' still shows lots of stuff open. I know somethings don't use
inetd/xinetd; they may have their own deamon (like sshd).  But finger,
echo, discard, etc. do (I think!).

Anyone have any pointers.  The 'disabled' flag should work if I'm
reading the man page correctly and sending the SIGUSR2 should reload
it.  I'm trying to avoid a reboot.

Thanks,

Gene
