> Put a # in front of the relevant lines in your etc/inetd.conf > file. Then HUP inetd. This is going to block all people from being able to have access via those ports. What I would do (and have done) to build a firewall (ipf, ipfw, etc.) and block any open ports to the machine. You need to remove telnet anyways, or at least fix it. I would suggest running an ssh daemon like openssh, you can build it out of the ports. Blocking ports is only the beginning of actually securing the machine. You need to add users with using a shell that will not give them access such as /bin/nologin. You can also add users to the /etc/ftpusers file to block their being able to use ftp.
