BR>> Wow!, wont that be chopping your head as a cure for a bad cold ?...
BR>> What about telneting from local machines? FTPing for file transfers

Telnet must die. There's no telnet anymore, there's SSH. Why you need
telnet if you have SSH? Just because you have a (particullary bad) telnet
client in windows distribution? That's not a base for security decisions. 
As for FTP - there are many FTP servers that run in standalone. While I
don't support the idea of disabling inetd, minimizing number of services
is good. And if you end up having no services in inetd - you don't need it
indeed :)
