The sgi_fam service contains an example, and it's detailed in the man
page xinetd.conf(5).

The option you're wanting is "bind".

The syntax being "bind = 127.0.0.1" in the service description stanza.

Thanks David,

That mirrors my latest thinking and I am looking at the xinetd man page now. Other info I've looked at on xinetd has not been helpful. In particular it is not at all clear that a style in a sysv init style is immediately amenable to being started from xinetd.

Thanks,
