Binc reads the conf file, then the command line arguments. The command line args override the conf file entries. The default configuration file has logtype=syslog, so the command line "--logtype=syslog" option in the xinetd file is redundant and can be removed safely, if you only use xinetd. The reason for the extra option in xinetd.d/imap is that whether you use xinetd or uscpi-tcp or whatever, the logging for xinetd should always be syslog, regardless of what the conf file says (because multilog style logging actually breaks the xinetd service).
