Did you also check the permissions on all the programs that xinetd tries
to invoke (e.g., /usr/sbin/ftpd.exe, if you enabled ftp)?

Make sure you've deleted the log files before attempting to start the
service (see <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-08/msg01222.html>).

Try opening a SYSTEM-owned shell (see the recent thread,
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-08/msg01132.html>), and run xinetd
directly from the command line in that shell.  If it runs there, compare
the environment settings for the service with the environment settings in
that shell.  If it doesn't run there, the errors you get should be helpful
in diagnosing the problem and experimenting.
