This is your problem. ------  you don't start them that way.

after you have changed the line in the files in the /etc/xinetd.d
directory to say
disabled = no

you simply restart the xinetd daemon by doing
     /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart
This will put every service you have configured online and available.

For more information on how xinetd works do
     man xinetd
and
     man xinetd.conf
