Ahh. Ok. :-) I didn't see where you were using SIGHUP to
restart inetd. :-) As for all the entries in inetd.conf,
well, who knows when you're going to want to enable rlogin
or some strange protocol... :-) Plus, it's less work to put
a "#" in front of the line than to delete it (IMNSHO, that
is! <G>)
