: Why is restarting it necessary? The man page doesn't say anything to that
: effect.

     The inetd program rereads its configuration file when it receives a
     hangup signal, SIGHUP. Services may be added, deleted or modified when
     the configuration file is reread.  Except when started in debugging mode,
     inetd records its process ID in the file /var/run/inetd.pid to assist in
     reconfiguration.
