If you didn't reboot after editing the config file, then try rebooting and scanning again. After you do that, if things aren't what you expect, post the scan and the rc.conf, plus the result of "ps -ax", to questions@freebsd.org. If, during this process, you can identify what specific shortcoming in the documentation caused you difficulty, please post that information to the doc list. Actually, now that you mention it, I can't even find instructions on disabling inetd.conf in the Handbook. Were you reading the Handbook, or a tutorial, or the FAQ, or The Complete FreeBSD?
