See man inetd.conf. Lines beginning with a '#' are comments. Perhaps
you also find the update-inetd utility useful.

You mean the package 'ipmasq'? 'dpkg --purge ipmasq' or 'apt-get
remove --purge ipmasq' should do it..

A good solution is to create a init script, put it in /etc/init.d/ and
create the init links (for example with update-rc.d).

Packets matching a rule with the -l/--log flag are logged via printk()
- so your syslogd should fetch these kernel messages. See man syslogd.

Have you read the Firewall/IPChains Howto?
