The main control you get through inetd is with the TCP wrappers. You can
define what host can access what service (and more). 

If you are like me: not a real hacker, you're better off protecting your
box with IP chains and TCP wrappers instead of the solution with
Portsentry suggested earlyer in a thread. Using Portsentry if you don't
fully understand it it's like carrying a gun without knowing how to use
it: attackers will use your own weapon against you.
