Which ports are you trying to close? Many are in /etc/inetd.conf. Just comment out the ones that aren't already commented out that you don't need and restart inetd. Others (like sendmail) are running on their own. Check /etc/init.d for the script and run it with a stop parameter. Don't forget to delete the rc2.d startup script if you don't want to run it any more.
