AIX 5.3 - Enabled services

I have used a script to determine the services running on a specific AIX server. So the script have two sections that I'm not sure about.

1)

br_1
INETCONF="/etc/inetd.conf"
echo "# Checking for $INETCONF has services running that should be disabled - FAILS CHECK"
echo `egrep  "^time|^daytime|^echo|^chargen|^telnet|^finger|^talk|^comsat|^shell|^login|^uucp|^tftp|^name|^printer|^shell|^login" $INETCONF`
enbr_1

This produces this results:

BEGINRECORD
416
# Checking for /etc/inetd.conf has services running that should be disabled - FAILS CHECK

ENDRECORD

So how should I interpret the result?

2)

br_1
echo "# Checking ChatList=name exec comsat talk uucp smtp tftp finger systat netstat rquotad rusersd sprayd walld rexd shell login exec comsat time echo discard daytime chargen 100087 rwalld rstatd 100068 100083 100221 fs ufsd 100232 100235 printer 536870916"
 for SERVC in $ChatList
  do
    grep "^${SERVC}" ${INET} >/dev/null 2>&-

    if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "#  $SERVC Open - FAILS CHECK"
    else
    echo "# $SERVC Closed - PASSES CHECK"
    fi
 done
 enbr_1

And the result is:

BEGINRECORD
418
# Checking ChatList=name exec comsat talk uucp smtp tftp finger systat netstat rquotad rusersd sprayd walld rexd shell login exec comsat time echo discard daytime chargen 100087 rwalld rstatd 100068 100083 100221 fs ufsd 100232 100235 printer 536870916
# name Closed - PASSES CHECK
# exec Closed - PASSES CHECK
# comsat Closed - PASSES CHECK
# talk Closed - PASSES CHECK
...
ENDRECORD

So it seems that the result for this one differs from the result of the first script.

To sum up, can I say that the services are disabled or not?

Is there a better way to check for enabled services?

Thanks for the help!
