Does this help:

Q. Does xinetd support libwrap (tcpwrappers)?
A. Yes. xinetd can be compiled with libwrap support by passing
--with-libwrap as an option to the configure script. When xinetd is
compiled with libwrap support, all services can use the
/etc/host.allow and /etc/host.deny access control. xinetd can also
be configured to use tcpd in the traditional inetd style. This
requires the use of the NAMEINARGS flag, and the name of the real
daemon be passed in as server_args. Here is an example for using
telnet with tcpd:

service telnet
{
        flags       = REUSE NAMEINARGS
        protocol    = tcp
        socket_type = stream
        wait        = no
        user        = telnetd
        server      = /usr/sbin/tcpd
        server_args = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
}
