Erm, ipchains and/or ipwrappers, or something like that, perhaps? Part 
of RH9's default out of the box hardening? The one time I installed RH9 
at work (been a while now and I don't use it much), seems there was 
some menu setting that will show all running daemons, from there most 
can be enabled/disabled at will, and/or disabled at start up. Each one 
is also explained there. Find that, and you should be all set.
