I just upgraded to 1.3.18 and noticed a version of init and xinetd. I turned off inetd and installed xinetd, chkconfig, sysvinit, and the initscripts, Ran init-config and xinetd-config. chkconfig says that xinetd is on at runlevel3, net start init starts init at runlevel3 , but doesn't start xinetd. If I manualy start xinetd (either with /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd start or /usr/sbin/xinetd -d) it appears to set up the various services, but when I try to access the machine using an xinetd service (telnet or rlogin) I get :

Oh, inetd works just fine, but I'd like to use xinetd if I could. thanks for any help.
