I noticed an open port on my machine with "netstat -pan" and it's inetd listening on behalf of /usr/sbin/gandiagent.py What does this script do? Is it necessary to keep this around? I consider any open ports to be a security threat.

The gandiagent does nothing in expert mode currently and you don't need to have it running around. It's probably the management tool for Gandi AI. It seems to use require some sort of ssl connection with Gandi specific keys so at least it's probably not totally unsecure. Still, disabling or uninstalling inetd is the easiest way to get it disabled.
