Wow, you got some wacky ass answers on this.
First off telneting to the port should work as long as you're on
the same box since it's supposed to be running on 127.0.0.1
otherwise known as lo or the loopback address which should clear up
that.
Then I'd look at logs. xinetd can be finicky about starting
services if they aren't configured right. I'd restart xinetd and
see what it drops in /var/log/messages about which services it's
activating. It's usually pretty good about telling you if it's
accepting a service though it may not tell you why it decided a
service wasn't up to snuff.
As root a netstat -ptln might tell you if xinetd is holding the
port, but since xinetd is a superdaemon of sorts it might not show
it on the port unless there is a working connection... I'm not sure
and have no desire to install xinetd to find out. :)
as long as it's configured to not be turned off, xinetd will hold the
port open. I use netstat -a|grep LISTEN and it should show up....
