ROFL...yeah, i guess that's one way...

After pondering this a bit, another solution comes to mind, you could deny
the service in hosts.deny, then enable it for just localhost in
hosts.allow, that way
anyone from outside can't connect to it, but the machine can still happily
monitor it and say it works ;)

Bit of a weird way to remove a service i suppose -/
