first try to stop the service. if it says ok, try to stop the service an other time. do this untill you can`t stop the service no more then trie to start it. if this does not help, you would have to give us you inetd.conf (i don`t know exactly what the config file is called at RH)

well it seems u have some configuration prob
it will be better if u post the relevant lines of /var/log/messages file
and also /etc/xinetd.conf file
