    Well it could be in several places. For starters, disable unecessary
    services in the /etc/xinetd.d directory (or even disable xinetd completely
    if it isn't needed). Then disable any services that are started via
    /etc/init.d. (Easy way is to use chkconfig, see whats enabled at what run
    levels and tweak accordingly)

    Using lsof, you can see what processes have listenning sockets and you can
    use this as a complete list of IP services.
