Wow!, wont that be chopping your head as a cure for a bad cold ?...
What about telneting from local machines? FTPing for file transfers
etc'?
More practically - if you "remark" the whole inetd.conf, is there still
any danger as far as those remarked services started from inetd.conf?
As for the ideas about this HOWTO - I think it should be a miniHOWTO as
it just cant describe with great detail all the needed material - simply
because the needed material is a big part of Linux networking... .
I think it should be a short but best putted instructions for setting up
home network, including important tips and basic ideas. It should also
have a good and effective coverege of links to more detailed description
of networking issues. The writing should be verified for conciseness and
accuracy but also for clarity (well, everything should be written like
that, shouldn't it? :) due to it's "digesty nature".
Boaz.
