My system is my desktop and my server. The machine is
connected to the internet and I use my own IPTables script to protect my
network.
I've used the update-rc.d script to remove the inetd init scripts from all
runlevels. But, I still want to un-install it completely. I've heard that the
inet daemon can be used in many different types of attacks and I don't want
to experience any first hand.
