First of all, the standard telnet port is 23. If you have telnet enabled through inetd.conf...then it's probably the default port of 23. Now to stop port 80 access it's just a little different.
If you had a webserver available on your node....then a person telnetting to it will get the httpd system banner:
**********************
Whatever Linux v2.2.14
Apache vX.X.XX
etc.
**********************
They can then send a GET command using telnet to pull the HTML...this is exactly what a web browser does.
To stop someone from connecting to this port...all you have to do is go into inetd.conf and comment out the HTTP line....which should look something like this:
http stream tcp nowait nobody ?/var/www/server/httpd httpd
This will shutdown the daemon...or "service"......then no one will be able to connect to it. Restart the inetd daemon by issuing the following command:
killall -HUP inetd
BTW, you will NOT be able to block a telnet'd connection to your port....and allow a web browser. To the firewall, they are essentially the same traffic. [TCP from a 1024+ port]
HTH.
