Hi,

/var/adm/inetd.sec
file should me modified to allow/deny inet services. Example is available in the same file (commented).

Note: this will work for standard inet services which you mentioned. a application service such listner cannot be controlled using inetd.sec
Refer to the application vendor if you want to deny such services.

Hi

In very simple terms you can disable these services by commenting them out in /etc/inetd.conf and then running the following command:
# inetd -c

As already stated you can use /var/adm/inetd.sec file to restrict access to these services.

You can download a good document from Centre for Internet Security which details steps involved in securing HP-UX servers.
http://www.cisecurity.org/bench_hpux.html

Also look at the Building a Bastion Host document which I have attached.

Cheers
