   Red Hat 7.x now uses xinetd instead of inetd.  The files you're looking 
for are in /etc/xinetd.d/ and are named for the services they control.  
There should be a line in each one that reads "disable = yes".  Change the 
'yes' to 'no' and restart xinetd ("service xinetd restart" or 
"/etc/init.d/xinetd restart") and it should work.  You can also control 
your services with 'chkconfig' if you wish.
