Making inetd listen on localhost only

[Ecmel Ercan]

Hi,

I am using http://hotwayd.sourceforge.net/ on my Ubuntu system. It
requires an /etc/inetd.conf entry for pop3 port 110 to function.

I also modified /etc/hosts.deny and .allow to let only localhost.

But now, port 110 is open on my system. 

Is there a way to run inetd services only for localhost and keep the ports
closed to the outside?

Regards,
Ecmel
