No, you don't need to send inetd a HUP signal either - unless it has TCP
wrappers built in to it. I'm running LM-6.1 and inetd is configured to start
tcpd which does the host.[allow, deny] file searches and exec's the proper
daemon if the action is allowed. Since inetd isn't doing the lookup and tcpd
starts and ends with every port access all you would have to do change
hosts.allow or hosts.deny.
