Thanks for all the responses. I should have known about inetd. The thing
that confused me was that I thought inetd handled both incoming and
outgoing.
Brilliant solution! Now I can prevent other developers from logging into my
machine
and compiling their source code on mine. Hate when that happens....
Solaris does not
reread the inetd.conf file so you do have to kill it to restart it...

Thanks again,

Ram
