As others have stated, check the daemon you are trying to run but many can
also run via tcpserver (http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcpserver.html).  Going
this route you can limit the listening IP to localhost or whatever.  I
personally swear by this route as it is a good/clean method of controling
services.
