Note that the grep sometimes returns info on the grep process itself. Look at 
the extreme right (maximize the window if you have to. ps doesn't check the 
size of the terminal, and the lines are clipped if the window is too small).

At the extreme right is the command. I'm not running inetd on the machine I'm 
on at the moment, and here's what I got

andjoh   31120  0.0  0.2  1544  580 pts/4    S    22:48   0:00 grep inetd

Note that this is not inetd, but "grep inetd"
It doesn't happen every time. It's a "race condition". Sometimes, grep reads 
the 'ps' information before the kernel has time to put the 'grep' process in 
there, sometimes it doesn't.

So which command did you get? "/usr/sbin/inetd" or "grep inetd"?
