Issue the command one more time...if it doesn't come up with at least
one other line, something that says something like:
xinetd -reuse -pidfile /var/run/xinetd.pid
Then xinetd isn't running.
If that's the case, you'll need to look in your /etc/rc.d/rcX.d
directories (where X is one of the run levels) for K50xinetd or
S50xinetd. If there's one with a K, it's not starting...if it's got
an S, it should be running, and I couldn't be sure why it's not.
Checking /var/log/messages would be a good place to start, in the
event that it should be running, but isn't.
