Re: [cobalt-users] Need to change /etc/inetd.conf without telnet access

Can you get at the machine physically? If so, I think you can boot up with
a restore CD and drop into a kernel prompt and just fix it that way. But,
if you were hacked, the best idea might be to just restore the whole
machine and update all security patches.  -- Jonathan
