If you could do the inetd playing that has also been

you have root privs. Ergo, add your self as a local user and remove the

This is by far less crippling than the other suggestions which not only
keep others out, but you as well.
Yes, I just realized that, but this is not a server machine, but my local
desktop
machine. I use this 95% of the time developing software (the other 5% I use my
SunPCI x86 card for Windoze emulation or my laptop), so disabling inetd for
telnets
and rlogins is not a problem. I dont need to telnet or rlogin over to my
machine.
Thanks for all the suggestions...
