Wrong and wrong, both of you, see below for more on --level and xinetd.
It's easy enough to prove, really:
[root@tuxfan log]# netstat -tua | grep finger
[root@tuxfan log]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/finger | grep disable
disable = yes
[root@tuxfan log]# chkconfig finger --list
finger off
[root@tuxfan log]# chkconfig finger on
[root@tuxfan log]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/finger | grep disable
disable = no
[root@tuxfan log]# chkconfig finger --list
finger on
[root@tuxfan log]# netstat -tua | grep finger
tcp 0 0 *:finger *:* LISTEN
[root@tuxfan log]# chkconfig finger off
[root@tuxfan log]# netstat -tua | grep finger
It runs out of xinetd, it starts and stops without manually reloading
xinetd, and can be configured via chkconfig. (as can all xinetd services.)

You can't specify run levels on individual xinetd services, they run when
xinetd runs. Service xinetd restart isn't required, it's automagic.
I'm not quitting until I reform the world, and dispel all misconceptions
about chkconfig and xinetd. ;)
