I think you misunderstand what is going on. The chkconfig command just
turns the service IN xinetd (can even use it for the stand-alone ones too)
on or off, chkconfig ipop3 on/off, nothing more, nothing less (just an
easier way to make it disable=yes/no instead of editing the files manually).
Then you are restarting xinetd so those changes take affect.
