Are you just concerned about running it through inetd? What about the
alternative xinetd? If you already have it firewalled, I'm not sure what
your concern is about running it through inetd. I don't know if you can run
telnetd as a standalone daemon, but if that's the only service that's enabled
in inetd.conf, does it matter?
FWIW, you can further lock down access in the hosts.allow file.
