Hi Laszlo,
No security benefit at all if you compile tcp-wrappers into SSH, but there
is a large performance hit if used in inetd. Plus to get it to work
properly from inetd you actually get a decrease of security from inetd,
because the keys need to be shortened so that there aren't time out
problems.
So the short answer is don't do it.
