Why did you edit /etc/services ? It's just used for mapping 
a name over a port number (like http --> 80). Its not used 
for launching servers.

Edit /etc/inetd.conf instead. This file list the ports listened 
by Inetd. Remove all un-needed servers here.

Also, in you boot process (/etc/rc.d), disable all unwished 
servers.

If you have another copy of /etc/services, re-isntall it. It's 
totally safe. The most complete one is surely from FreeBSD.
