Just curious: on which port is this service supposed to be?

As there is no answer (because there is no program to answer), the
port is listed in "Services/unknown". 
Every script that reads this key will access the missing service.
i.e. miscflood.nasl, mstream_handler.nasl, nessus_detect.nasl,
PC_anywhere_tcp.nasl, subseven.nasl 

The scripts that loop on every open port will acess it too:
check_ports.nasl, port_shell_execution.nasl

You can get rid of the first category by enabling the experimental
"TCP wrapper detector" in nessus-plugins/plugins/find_service/find_service.c
Replace "#undef DETECT_WRAPPED_SVC" by "#define DETECT_WRAPPED_SVC"
and set a value > 0 in the "Wrapped service read timeout" Pref.
NB : 
- if the timeout is too short, some services may be detected as
"wrapped".
- a long timeout will make find_service much slower.

BTW, is the message from inetd so annoying?
