Why would you want to? Just don't enable it from /etc/rc.conf and you'll be fine. If you need it, you can always enable it later. Many machines run just fine without inetd. It all depends what you wanna do. > I vote we get rid of inetd :) No. With inetd, you can also turn regular filters into network aware programs (sort of). And not every network service is always needed all the time. Having a deamon for each of those seldom used services hanging around is just wastful. -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
