All it says is 'inetd failed'. I want to know why did it fail.

One way to find out is by running the scrip manually as root.  But first
copy the original to a different name:

cp /etc/rc.d/inetd /etc/rc.d/inetd.test

Then edit /etc/rc.d/inetd.test and change

    start)
        echo -n "Starting INET services (inetd)"
        startproc /usr/sbin/inetd || return=$rc_failed
        echo -e "$return"

to

    start)
        echo -n "Starting INET services (inetd)"
        startproc /usr/sbin/inetd
#        echo -e "$return"

then run it as root from the shell prompt:

"/etc/rc.d/inetd.test start"

and any error generated will not be suppressed, but shown on the screen.
