} Not just executables. Dotfiles, too. E.g., some of the more

If this is on the internet they also shouldn't have rlogin access open
to the outside. Goto /etc/inet.d and comment out login, exec, shell,
ftp, telnet, finger, and everything else you do not *NEED*. Then block
most of what you left running with a firewall so it cannot be accessed
from outside.
