I'm not sure what you mean.

Here is how it looks on a RedHat 7 here:

The /etc/inetd.conf file has what the automatic distribution put there;

bpcd    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd bpcd
vopied  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/vopied vopied
bpjava-msvc     stream  tcp     nowait  root
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpjava-msvc bpjava-msvc -transient

but I think RedHat ignores it.

There is a file: /etc/xinetd.conf which contains:

#
# Simple configuration file for xinetd
#
# Some defaults, and include /etc/xinetd.d/

defaults
{
        instances               = 60
        log_type                = SYSLOG authpriv
        log_on_success          = HOST PID
        log_on_failure          = HOST RECORD
}

includedir /etc/xinetd.d

And then the file /etc/xinetd.d/bpcd which I sent before.

Of course you need to do kill -1 to the inetd process id after making
changes to the inetd files, so that it will read the configuration files
again.

Does this answer your question?
