Probably because all you had to do was:
   chmod 000 /etc/xinetd.conf
   /etc/init.d/xinetd start
and see what happens.

And the answer is:  yes, it works just like normal.  You will want to
verify that it still works properly during a reboot.  I think it will
since during the reboot it will have superuser priveleges, but you
really ought to test it to make sure.
