See 'man xinetd.conf', the "only_from" and "no_access" attributes?

I could point you to the LQ FAQ: Security references if you want to read things yourself (good) else please be verbose: what distribution plus version, what services does the host provide, what have you already read and done with respect to host and service hardening?
