Is it possible to bind telnetd to a specific IP on AIX 5.3? I know telnet is evil. Unfortunately, we have to have it listening on one interface for a specific application, but I want to make sure that's the only interface/IP that it's listening on.

I have been searching all over the net and have found some advice for Linux, but it doesn't appear to be applicable to AIX.

Full disclosure: I am not the server admin, but I am working closely with them and am familiar with *nix.

Add: This is an internal server, which is connected to two different vlans. This is NOT connected to the Internet(!).
