Is it configured in inetd (/etc/inetd.conf)? You should see a line like
this...
#linuxconf stream tcp wait root /bin/linuxconf linuxconf --http
If you'll going to connect to you computer from a static IP, I'd suggest
configuring linuxconf to only accept connections from that IP. You can also
use Webmin which can be compiled for SSL
(http://plainmail.com/linux/secure.html).
