If that was your solution I recommend against it. tcpserver is the only
supported anti open-relay solution. Many of my systems no longer run
inetd at all for anything. Telnet was the only thing that needed it and
it runs fine under tcpserver. I had trouble running telnetd under
tcpserver on an older (ver 9.0) HPUX system tho, so make sure you have
access to the console if you try it on a newer hp.
