On that firewall that you have shut down, perhaps? I have had sendmail appear to hang during boot if it is unable to talk to the DNS server for some reason. It will carry on after a time-out of about two minutes, which seems like forever when you're sitting looking at it. I have not seen inetd and cron do the same though. Or, perhaps you are confused by the fact that inetd and cron are displayed on the same line during the boot process - it is actually sendmail that is taking its time.
