I tried doing an nmap scan on myself the other day and found that tcp

remove this service since I don't think I need it, but I can't figure
out how. I removed the package pidentd, after which nmap reported the
port was still open, but changed its service description to "auth?".
Did you restart xinetd after removing pidentd?
Since the superserver only activates processes on demand, does it
really matter that xinetd was not restarted?

Scientists are people, too. IOW, they also "crave power, money,
respect, and influence, and they also fear for their jobs. Each
can be a healthy motivator, but each has the ability to turn a
good scientist into a bad one; and in some cases, they can turn
a good scientist into a charlatan."
