Local inetd Services
The inetd process controls a number of network services that you may or may not want to support on your local area network. You can limit which services you offer and log access to those services by editing the /etc/inetd.conf file. See "Limiting inetd Services", but note that that discussion refers to limiting these services when connecting to an untrusted network. You may wish to be more lenient in your configuration of inetd if you are concerned only with determining policy for a trusted local network.
