also, the biggest difference for him is that on NetBSD inetd.conf is a blank
plate and you need to enable stuff.  in Solaris inetd.conf has about a million
and a half different services enabled.  strip it of everything you don't need
and that should make a big difference.

that and the updates to patch the holes in the stuff you need to use and you
greatly increase you security with a minimal amount of work.

cheers,
