Daemons & Ports and stuff

[timothy@smasher.rs.itd.umich.edu]

Hi. Afew questions.
1. I was checking to see what services my computer was running today with nmap.
And there was all sorts of stuff like daytime and chargen that I don't use, so
I removed all the extraneous entries in /etc/inetd.conf (using comments),
leaving only ftp and telnet. Is this okay; do I need any of the others?

2. Why are there two entries for ftp in /etc/inetd.conf?
ftp             stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.ftpd
ftp             stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/ftpd 

3. After restarting inetd nmap still reported something called sunrpc on port
111. What is this/Do I need it/How do I remove it if not?

4. Can I get Apache and sshd to run from inetd instead of on their own?

Thanks for any insight,
Timothy
