If you mean "inetd.conf", no, it's the inetd configuration file. Inetd
is a "superserver": it listens to various ports, and when it receives
a connection on one, it invokes the appropriate daemon.

That's normal unless there's an active incoming SMTP session.
BTW, you really should use tcpserver from daemontools. Inetd doesn't
work very well and is unsupported with qmail.
