QUESTION: How can I disable inetd, so that it will not start after a reboot? (+how can I disable sendmail correctly?)

Answer 1

You could delete the symlinks for them in the /etc/rc2.d (or rc3.d) directory. That will stop them from starting up at startup.

rm /etc/rc2.d/*sendmail* /etc/rc2.d/*inetd*
