I want to disable ftp on our external DNS server. This box is running solaris 7.
Can i just create an /etc/ftpusers file? Can I comment-out ftp in inetd.conf and
/etc/inet/services to disable ftp?
 
Just commenting it out in inetd.conf will suffice. Then pkill -HUP inetd to make it re-read the configuration. You should also disable many other services there; I think there is a good document either in the FAQs or in an earlier post about hardening Solaris, do a quick search of the forum...
