used for what ?

there are plenty of default network services that you can disable when you do not need them - I do not know your requirements - in most companies I worked for, we disabled pretty much all of these: shell, kshell, login, klogin, exec, tftp, rwalld, sprayd, echo, discard, chargen, daytime, time

You might want to have a look here

NAME
rpc.sprayd, sprayd - spray server SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/netsvc/spray/rpc.sprayd DESCRIPTION
rpc.sprayd is a server that records the packets sent by spray(1M). The rpc.sprayd daemon may be started by inetd(1M) or listen(1M). The service provided by rpc.sprayd is not useful as a networking benchmark as it uses unreliable connectionless transports, (udp for exam- ple). It can report a large number of packets dropped when the drops were caused by the program sending packets faster than they can be buffered locally (before the packets get to the network medium). ATTRIBUTES

Responsibil- ity for initiating and restarting this service is delegated to inetd(1M). Use inetadm(1M) to make configuration changes and to view config- uration information for this service.
