And inetd is still running with the same pid ?
Odd.  Which distro/version are you using ?

If i just use strace's output to the command line, i see the current
system call that inetd is making.
/home/rex # strace -f -p 395
select(16, [4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 15], NULL, NULL, NULL <unfinished ...>
each of these numbers [4 5 6 .... are file descriptors corresponding to 
sockets, one of which is attached to port 23.

Does it even do that ?

Cheers, Rex
