ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -l -L -i

telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd
#gopher stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd gn
# do not uncomment smtp unless you *really* know what you are doing.
# smtp is handled by the sendmail daemon now, not smtpd. It does NOT
# run from here, it is started at boot time from /etc/rc.d/rc#.d.
smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env
