A SIGHUP will not terminate the inetd process. You do _not_ need to
restart it. From the manpage,
"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."
So to the original poster, to have it re-read the file without the
need to lookup the PID,
# kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`
