Right - what Andreas said in his reply. More generalized answer:

For FTP and Telnet, at least, the monitor daemons (which might be
implemented under inetd/jinetd instead of as individual processes) are only
for the server/incoming services, and are not required for client/outbound
sessions, firewall and router settings for the related port numbers
notwithstanding.

Environment: 979/200 running MPE/iX 6.5 + all reactive patches.

Our INETDCNF currently looks as follows:

echo         stream tcp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal
echo         dgram  udp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal
daytime      stream tcp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal
daytime      dgram  udp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal
time         stream tcp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal
time         dgram  udp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal
discard      stream tcp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal
discard      dgram  udp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal
chargen      stream tcp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal
chargen      dgram  udp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal
telnet       stream tcp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal
tftp         dgram  udp wait   USER.TFTP /SYS/NET/TFTPD tftpd
swat         stream tcp nowait.400 MGR.SAMBA /usr/local/samba/bin/swat swat
-a
ftp          stream tcp nowait MANAGER.SYS /SYS/ARPA/FTPSRVR ftpsrvr

My questions are:

1) Would removal of the 'ftp' entry ONLY prevent inbound ftp access OR
would
it have additional side-effects?
2) Would removal of the 'telnet' entry ONLY prevent inbound telnet access
OR
would it also prevent outbound telnet?
3) As we don't use bootp then is the 'tftp' entry required?
