You must be misunderstanding me. I usually edit inetd.conf once, then do
a SIGHUP to limit what's available at the moment. I am actually quite
brutal; I do not comment out inetd.conf entries, I delete them. Most of
my servers have only 2 or 3 lines in inet.conf, and those left running are
wrapped with tcpd and strict rules applied.
