[leaf-wisp] Zebra

As a neophyte when it come so routing protocols, I have two questions
regarding Zebra OSPF on Wdist:

1.  Is it necessary / desirable for a simple wireless AP?

2.  Does it pose a security risk?

As to the latter, I noticed that an nmap scan of the public ip of my
access point shows an open port for ospfd when Zebra is enabled.  I
assume that is so other routing daemons can talk to it.  Does such an
open port open an unnecesary vulnerability in an AP?

In doing the nmap scan, I also discovered that Wisp-Dist comes with
telnet enabled in inetd.  I quickly turned it off.  With SSH available,
I am not sure there is any need to keep telnet uncommented in
/etc/inetd.conf.  In fact, having commented out telnet, there is nothing
else to run from inetd.  Is there any reason to keep inetd enabled in
init.d?
