You'd probably have to explicitly install it, but it really looks like inetd
is working properly, so there's no need to.

I'd say this line in the log is telling us something...

This *kinda* looks like inetd is trying to broker sshd connections, but
something is already hogging the port...

What version of sshd are you using? Now that we have addressed the
/etc/hosts.deny thing, what happens when you comment out the ssh line in
/etc/inetd.conf and restart inetd?
