LOCK DOWN TELNET OR FTP

When inbound access isn't required into 
a system deny users Telnet or FTP access 
do the following:

vi /etc/inetd.conf 

Comment the line starts with Telnet or 
FTP.  Save the file and exit.

Stop and start the inetd daemon now by 
following commands:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet stop

/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet start

(Your flavor may be /etc/init.d)

Now on nobody can telnet or FTP to your 
server from outside network.
