I've personally never understood the use, some distros have it, some don't
True, xinetd is not that much used now a days. But it sure does a good job of make the system resources available for other use. For an example, a PXE server serving TFTP requests. Now, do you really install OSes 24x7? So there's really no use of TFTP server daemon running all the time consuming memory and doing close to nothing. But, if it's controlled by xinetd, the service only started when you get a request. A server which serves occasional ftp requests, can actually use xinetd.
Well, RHEL 6 has vsftpd as the FTP server and telnet-server package for the telnet server. To install these pacakges, you would have to make use of the installation DVD as yum repository. Let me help you with that:
1. Create a file /etc/yum.repos.d/local.repo with the following contents:
2. Create a dir /mnt/dvd and mount the DVD there
3. Use yum command to install the packages
/etc/inittab is almost empty because Sys V init has been abandoned to embrace upstart which can start multiple services simultaneously reducing the overall boot time. /etc/inittab is there just to define the default runlevel.
Hope this gets you started!
