My installation of xinetd (from the downloadable CD images) came with tcpd capabilities already compiled in, so that I did not have to add the tcpd information to my xinetd.conf file.
When I make changes to the host.allow and host.deny files, xinetd restricts access accordingly, without any reference to tcpd in the configuration file. Have you tried this?
