This suggests it can't look up the well-known services number-name mappings in
/etc/services file
Check it still lives and is correct :)
P.S. You _do not_ need to reboot to make Inetd changes take effect.
In fact, short of hardware changes and kernel rebuilds you should rarely
need to reboot a unix box.
as root do a
kill -HUP <pid>
where <pid> is the process id of inetd
you can use numeric signals e.g. kill -1 <pid> also
