Chris, the warnings are telling you that when it was updating your xinetd packages it was going to write out new configuration files for all the services that xinetd controls. However, it tries to play nice and does not want to overwrite any files that are already there since they might have been modified by you, the end user. So, up2date just put these files out there with the .rpmnew extension. If you have not modified any of the files in the /etc/xinetd.d/ directory, then you can safely copy the .rpmnew files to the name without .rpmnew and you will have the latest configuration files that come with this package. However, chances are nothing major has changed in these files and you don't need the .rpmnew files. So, it's up to you on whether you need these files or not. After you make that decision and do, or not do, the copy, it will be safe to restart xinetd. .~.
