Maybe inetd setup should be part of the netbase (or is it netstd?) setup?
Presenting a user with options like "default", "all-off" and "custom" would be appropriate, and
something like the apache module configuration for custom.
Same for hosts.{allow,deny}, possibly. (Although, it is almost semi-reasonable to presume that
they don't want to block services, unless they explicitly do so)
