Hi,

you might want to disable those services from rc files under /etc directory.

Just use "grep <service> /etc/rc*" to figure out in which file service you want to disable is and use "#" to comment it out.

If the service is part of inetd, then you have to hack those "#" comments to /etc/inetd.conf file.

These need to commented in /etc/inetd.conf and then execute 'refresh -s inetd'.
