PxT,

My justification is this: there are a great deal of vulnerable services that run from within inetd in redhat (ftp, linuxconf, etc). I would just shutoff inetd, and run as standalone services because, at the minimum, this will require the admin to think about whether or not they actually need the service running. Lets say you need ftp. If you do not have inetd running, it will at least force you to get the latest FTP build (protecting against all the latest buffer overflows). I do not use telnet, ftp, or anything that requires to be run out of inetd.

you can use ssh instead of telnet
you can use scp instead of ftp

But that is just my two cents.
