	I was looking at inetd.conf and *every* single service is disabled:

% cat inetd.conf

Now that is all nice and peachy for security reasons, but there are 
no replacements for those services afaik.  For instance, how to get 
ssh alive to I can telnet to this machine using ssh (blowfish 
ecnoding, to throw one my telnet program can handle)?
