That's why I said to man xinetd. I gave you a quick and dirty file that may have no relation to what you really need
Based on the site you probably grabbed this from (
http://www.dmzs.com/~dmz/projects/mrtgsystemload.html) and your error message, you still need to update /etc/services.
Quote:
Each system runs the script from inetd, so /etc/services &
/etc/inetd.conf need to be updated.
services:
# added by dmz for mrtg
stats 7260/tcp
inetd.conf:
# added by dmz 0330 for mrtg
stats stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/local/bin/mrtgsysinfo mrtgsysinfo
It's not going to know what port to be listening on unless you add the info to /etc/services (or possibly in the xinetd file as a "port = 7260" line).

micro-httpd
micro-httpd(8) User Commands micro-httpd(8)
NAME
micro-httpd - really small HTTP server
SYNOPSIS
micro-httpd DIRECTORY
OPTIONS
None.
DESCRIPTION
micro-httpd is a very small HTTP server all in 150 lines of code. It runs from inetd, which means its performance is poor. But for low-
traffic sites, it is quite adequate. It implements all the basic features of an HTTP server, including:
* Security against ".." filename snooping.
* The common MIME types.
* Trailing-slash redirection.
* index.html
* Directory listings.
To install it, add a line like this to /etc/inetd.conf:
micro-http stream tcp nowait nobody
/usr/sbin/micro-httpd micro-httpd dir
Make sure the path to the executable is correct, and change "dir" to be the directory you want to serve. You could add line like this to
/etc/services:
micro-http port/tcp #Micro HTTP server
Change "port" to the port number you want to use: 80, 8000, whatever. Restart inetd by sending it a "HUP" signal.
On some systems, inetd has a maximum spawn rate - if you try to run inetd services faster than a certain number of times per minute, it
assumed there is either a bug of an attack going on and it shuts down for a few minutes. If you run into this problem - look for syslog
messages about too-rapid looping - you will need to find out how to increase the limit. Unfortunately this varies from OS to OS. On
FreeBSD, you add a "-R 10000" flag to inetd's initial command line. On some Linux systems, you can set the limit on a per-service basis in
inetd.conf, by changing "nowait" to "nowait.10000".
Note that you can use micro-httpd to serve HTTPS, if you like, by running it from stunnel. First fetch and install stunnel - FreeBSD users
can just go to /usr/ports/security/stunnel and do a "make cert ; make install". Then as root run:
stunnel -p /usr/local/certs/stunnel.pem -d 443 -l
/usr/sbin/micro-httpd -- micro-httpd dir
Make sure the paths to the certificate and executable are correct, and again don not forget to change "dir" to the directory you want to
serve.
ENVIRONMENT
None.
FILES
None.
