inetd.conf belows to the inet daemon, which if you're using Red Hat 7.x, 
is no longer used.  The replacement is xinetd.  It controls such basic 
services as imap, pop3, telnet, ftp etc (look in /etc/xinetd.d/)..

So inetd.conf is not a general startup file, if you're looking for a 
general startup file to stick some commands into that you want executed 
at startup, look at rc.local .
