If you want to get some expert explanations that I do not have time to give, 
you could ask the list...

But in general, if this is the client's concern, then they are probably missing 
opportunities for behaving in secure ways. Having a standalone version of inetd 
does not make it any more or less secure than if inetd or xinetd launches it.

Yes,

My client doesn't want to use xinetd due to (hist) security issue
though I am not really sure if stand-alone mode would be any better
in security.

so you are asking if a stand-alone daemon style version exists...
like sendmail runs as a daemon, listening to the port it listens to... ?
