Hello --

In keeping with my previous posts about memory issues, I'm trying to 
get rid of unwanted daemons.  I'm not familiar with xinetd.  From what 
I gather from the man pages, it fires servers on an as needed basis.  
However, in my ps list I see "cups"  and others that should not have 
received a connection.  Also, how do I rid myself of these services?  
In inetd, I could comment a line...what do I do now?  Removed the entry 
from the xinetd.d directory?  Thanks again.
