Thanks Sergey, that is exactly what I did (said "yes" to overwrite). I've re-installed and now init runs xinetd. now I get an error (in the error log) after xinetd loads the appropriate services "xinetd: creation of default log failed." followed by: "xinetd:Started working: 0 available services."
I'm not sure where to look here, I did notice a "touch /var/lock/subsys/xinetd" which is successful in the xinetd startup, so I'm not sure where the log is or how to make it work. Or is there something else I should be doing?
