why not try to run your inetd like this
/usr/sbin/inetd -d -q 256 /etc/inetd.conf >/dev/null 2>&1 &
below is the test of that command

Subject: [plug] inetd problem
we have a linuxbox that should be accessed by more than 50
users via telnet... however, it seems that inetd gets overloaded by
telnet requests -- only about 40 users can telnet to the machine.
the machine has dual processors and 500mb RAM... how do i fix
this? any ideas?
thanks.
