No its not better.
Simply commenting out the line for the telnet port and then sending a sighup
to the inetd process will only stop outgoing telnets, incomming telnets will
still work, at least thats what happens here.
Even if you comment out the telnet line in /etc/inetd.conf incomming telnets
to other ports will still work, if the machine is standalone then just kill
inetd.
'man inetd' will explain more.
