SUMMARY: Inetd Startup Scirpt

Almost everyone who responded said that it is not an issue to comment out
the line in the run control script. Several people mentioned that patches
could overwrite this file. Several suggested leaving it alone and have a
empty /etc/inetd.conf file or all lines commented out.
