You probably don't need them, and to what I heard, they are quite
insecure.  I have them turned off, with no ill effects.  But I don't
run an internal network.

Actually, I don't even use inetd.  I have exim running as a daemon,
and the only thing I use the superserver for is leafnode, and I use
rlinetd for that.

Good Luck.
