disabling inetd

[Rick Weinbender <rwein@central-ph.k12.mo.us>]

I've heard that the inetd process is not very secure.
Also, my email server runs fine even if I kill the inetd process.

Is there a way to remove it or disable it permanently.
Would this be a good thing to do?  Or will it just cause
me problems down the road.

Thanks,
-Rick
